The volleyball term “kill,” broken down, is a consonant followed by a vowel, and then the same consonant twice. It’s only a coincidence the last name Todd is the same way. In R-P volleyball circles this season (especially), th

It might be a year before Fillmore Central volleyball truly reaches its peak. They might not finish first in the conference this year (see #1 in Class A Wabasha-Kellogg), or second (See #7 in AA Caledonia). But if one is to contend W-K and Caledonia are better (they are FC’s only two losses), all one can say is, the Falcons are awfully good for being the third best 3-Rivers team. They staked their claim to that position in Chatfield, as a pair of two loss squads (Gophers 8-2, FC 9-2) battled.
In set one, Chatfield’s defensive block made a difference. The combination of 6’2” senior Haley Kohlmeyer and 5’10” sophomore Brook Irish stymied/impacted many Falcon attacks. A 6-0 run midway thru the game helped Chatfield to a 21-14 edge. They held from there, 25-20. Down a game, FC went to their splendid hitter Taylor Case. The 5’10” junior amassed 9 kills in game two, hammering the ball where Chatfield wasn’t: a tough task given the defensive stalwart-ness of Gopher libero Alex Duxbury.
The Falcons grabbed a big lead (15-8) and won 25-20. Game 3 saw what often happens in volleyball, the seesaw effect. The Gopher’s built an early 10-5 lead, warded off a pair of FC comebacks, to take a 2-1 advantage with a 25-22 victory. With Fillmore with its back against the wall, and Chatfield sniffing out a big conference victory, set #4 proved the most competitive. The teams tied 15 times, but the Falcons ended on a 7-1 run, going from down 19-18, to winning 25-20. In pivotal set #5, the verdict was sealed when FC (trailing 4-3) scored 7-straight. A 10-4 lead became a 15-9 victory, completing the comeback. Case was mammoth (season high 28 kills, led FC with 25 digs). Morgan Malley had 39 assists including #1000 of her career; pretty good considering, as her male peers chanted, “She’s a sophomore!”
She also had 18 digs. Libero Chelsea Rislove added 21 digs. Victoria Peterson added 9 kills. For the Goph’s, sophomore Maddy Kammer had 10 kills, Kohlmeyer and Kirsten Keefe six apiece. Brook Irish had 8 total blocks. Duxbury (42 digs) and Keefe (20 digs) were busy on “D.” The later was 23-of-23 serving.
The Falcons followed that win up by overcoming some early hiccups (down 3-1 and 4-1 in sets one and three) versus mid-tier Dover-Eyota. In the end, the scores maybe were closer than one would’ve expected (25-20, 25-20, 25-23), but FC was victorious nonetheless. Case (14 kills), Malley (34 assis .....
