Dixie seems to be a tale of two teams this week, as is often when you have two 8th graders and a 7th grader in your starting rotation. On Tuesday against Villa passing was a huge problem and at times definitely had that deer in the headlights look, but on Thursday the Colonels put together a much more cohesive game. Both Ludlow and Villa are of similar talent levels in my opinion. Villa serves and passes better, while Ludlow hits better. They won't play again till later in the season but I'd give the edge to Villa.

 

The first two sets began with a close back and forth before Dixie was able to pull ahead at the end, winning 25-19, and 25-17. In the third set Dixie put its foot to the floor and closed out the night in convincing fashion, 25-10.

 

Fr. Leah Metzger led the Colonels with 16 kills and 9 digs. Sr. Kylee Fowee had 6 digs and 7 Aces.

Villa defeated Ludlow the first match of the season. 25-19, 25-14

I saw that, hence the "again" part of my statement.
