VOLLEYBALL: Price, Fenoglio guide Nocona to Lu Allen title
Nocona High School volleyball players Sherese Price and Magye Fenoglio were named to the Lu Allen Tournament team as the Lady Indians won the Division 2 Gold Bracket on Saturday.
The Lady Indians defeated Denver City 25-22, 25-13 for the championship, and the team improved to 8-6 on the season.
The Lu Allen Tournament is named for a former Graham volleyball coach who was tragically killed in a vehicular mishap a decade ago.
“The difference between Friday’s play and Saturday was the girls’ mental approach when they stepped on the court,” Nocona head coach Tiffany Clay said.
Clay said the Lady Indians pulled it all together during Gold Bracket play on Saturday.
“We served more aggressively, which kept their serve receive out of system for the majority of the time, and our blocking was also a big key in the game,” Clay added.
Nocona established a 9-1 lead in the second set, and never looked back.
Fenoglio recorded six of the Lady Indians’ 27 digs, and Mackie Trumbull, Emma Meekins and Ali Walker all had one solo ace block.
Price finished with a team-best nine kills, and she recorded a staunch .429 hitting efficiency.
Chloey Hamilton served up five aces and Angel Rhudy chipped in with three as the Lady Indians hit on 93.8 percent of their attempts from behind the line. Jamie Carpenter supplied six assists, and Hamilton five. Henley Davis added three digs. Read more, and see a volleyball scoreboard, in the weekend Bowie News.
