The Lady Titans defeated Lindsey Holy Family in Crete Saturday to qualify for the state tournament in Lincoln. After dropping the first set of the match 23-25 it was all Titans after that. The Titans took the remaining 3 sets, 25-14, 25-18, and 25-18.

“Overall, we played really well on Saturday against Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family.  In the first set, we got off to a slow start.  I think that had a lot to do with nerves and putting pressure on ourselves.  In the second set, we relaxed and were able to take control of the game.  We served aggressively and played good defense.  Our kids did a great job blocking their hitters, allowing our back-row passers to make big plays,” Coach Kara Engles stated.

Head Coach Scott Brumbaugh commented, “By the looks of the score most would say there wasn’t much to celebrate. However, there was. For the 1st time all season the offense showed some spark. It scored in the 1st quarter and then had a missed opportunity in the 2nd quarter. Again we scored in the 3rd and 4th with another missed opportunity in the 4th when we fumbled on the one yd line. On the other side of the ball we showed signs of improvement but are still not able to put it all together yet and force teams to punt. We are getting closer to reaching that goal. This coming Friday is going to be another tough game vs FCSH. Again we are just looking to go out and improve and take away some positives before we play the last game of the year.”
