Lady Bears move past Buda Hays
By Keith MacPherson
The Lady Bears knew they would be in for a challenge when they played Buda Hays in the opening round of the Class 4A state volleyball playoffs but they weren’t going to back down.
Montgomery (27-13) rose to the occasion winning in four sets, 20-25, 25-18, 25-23, 25-21, in a match at was held at Columbus High School on Monday.
“I knew with the adrenaline of the playoffs that we were going to have to play up,” Montgomery coach Terri Wade said. “Everyone picks up their intensity of play in the playoffs so I knew we would have to raise ours as well and we did that.”
Falling behind 20-25 after the first set, the Lady Bears won three consecutive sets to send Buda Hays home early from the playoffs.
“It was exciting to have everybody back and healthy,” Wade said. “We played with everything we had tonight.”
Lizzy Bache and Kaylee Nemeth led Montgomery in kills with 14 a piece while teammate Caitlin Ogletree led the team in assists with 45 to go with four aces. Senior Lauren Pavolske finished with 21 digs to lead the team.
Next up for the Lady Bears will be the winner of tonight’s game between Crosby and Nederland.
