Serves are what the team had to tighten up in the
second match against Monroe Area, Allen added. They
also broke down in communication.
“Not enough consistency to get the job done,” he
said.
He talked with them about the importance of the Mor
gan County match.
“I told them, T know you’re all aware, but just in case
you aren’t, this is the night to bring your A game to
the table,”’ Allen stated. “They did. They fought really
hard. Just too many highs and lows and we didn’t have
enough highs.”
It was also Senior Night for the Lady Eagles as four
seniors were recognized: Lacey Beauchamp, Abbe
Boswell, Shelby Groover and Emi Melendez.
“A great group of girls, both on and off the court,”
Allen said. “We’re really going to miss them next year.”
But the season isn’t over yet as the playoffs loom.
The Lady Eagles will host a first-round match by virtue
of being the o. 2 seed in the area. Date and time are yet
to be determined.
“We’ve got the home-court advantage,” Allen said.
He calls having a home match a “game-changer.”
“When we find out the times and dates, we can get as
many people packed in here as we can,” he said. “Use
the student section to get the girls up, because that’s
a big thing. They love to hear that crowd noise and
having the crowd get behind them, so we’re going to
take that to our advantage, at least for the first round.”
The biggest thing the team needs to work on is con
sistency, Allen added ahead of the playoffs.
“We do a lot of things really, really well,” he said. “We
just need to work on staying consistent throughout the
whole game.
“You’re going to have highs and lows, but being lev
el-headed and playing at the same tempo throughout
the whole game is something we need to focus on right
now.”
The Lady Eagles breezed by Monroe Area in the sec
ond match in straight sets, 25-9, 25-4.
