Licking Lady Wildcats Volleyball started their season with the Summersville Jamboree on Tuesday, August 23. Their first regular game was a home game against always-tough foe Mountain View/Liberty, on Monday, August 29. Both junior varsity and varsity came up short in the contests.

Net violations kept JV from developing momentum. They lost the first set 16-25, and battled to a close 24-26 loss in the second set.

It took Mountain View/Liberty five sets to down the varsity ladies. The never-say-die Lady ‘Cats’ scores were 21-25, 25-22, 19-25, 25-21 and 11-15 in the tie breaker set. As usual, the Lady Wildcats and the Lady Eagles are very evenly matched.

The Varsity Lady ‘Cats took the first two sets in fine form, winning 25-10 and 25-15. Fatigue appeared to set in during the third set, and they seemed less sharp, but still were able to overcome Houston 25-23 to win the match.
