Realistically speaking, they had only three hurdles to cross, Spring Grove, Spring Grove, and Grand Meadow. Mabel-Canton volleyball’s path to another undefeated SEC regular season hinged pretty much on those three matches. The Cougars beat Randolph (25-9, 25-11, 25-19) to clinch another perfect league campaign. Lexi Thorson (5 kills, 4 aces, 10 digs), Sarina Stortz (10 kills), Maddy Michels (9 kills, 16-16 serving, 6 digs), Jordyn Newgard (7 kills), Payton Danielson (6 kills, 8 digs), and Kenidi McCabe (37 assists, 6 digs) led the way. A night later, they hosted another SEC East-West Showcase game. For the second straight year, they faced an athletic GM (23-8) squad. For a third time overall this season, M-C was simply too much. It was a tough 3-0 sweep (25-23, 25-19, 29-27). Danielson (12 kills, 21 digs), Michels (11 kills, 3 blks), Stortz (8 kills), Thorson (6 kills, 16 digs), McCabe (33 assists, 14 digs), and Hannah Snell (16 digs) did big work. Jordyn Glynn (13 kills, 20 digs) led the GM effort. The #6 in A Cougars (14-0, 27-5) are 1A East’s top seed and will host either Houston (8-seed) or Kingsland (9-seed).
