Huron, Flat Rock work hard for Huron League volleyball wins
NEWPORT – New Boston Huron topped Jefferson in three sets Wednesday in a Huron League volleyball match, but it didn’t seem like a three setter.
Every point was a battle before Huron pulled out a 27-25, 25-22, 25-23 victory.
“We played really good volleyball tonight,” Jefferson coach Kylie Ely said. “I’m proud of the girls. They all worked hard. Even the girls that came off the bench worked hard on that court. We have to find a way to finish though.”
Annie Boggs led the Bear hitters with six kills and Gracie Jones had five. Lindsey Gennoe was credited with 14 assists and three kills and Jenna Flint contributed eight assists and three kills.
