They are in the thick of it. Fillmore Central volleyball heads to their last four TRC games sitting in second place. They are on a five-match TRC win streak. Victories over La Crescent (25-15, 25-10, 25-15) and Kingsland (25-19, 25-18, 25-22) were both sweeps. Seniors Kenzie Broadwater (LC > 15 kills, 7 digs; K > 12 kills, 14-14 serving, 2 aces), Paige Bennett (LC > 7 kills; K > 8 kills), Tayah Barnes (LC > 12 digs, 3 aces; K > 21 digs), and Bailey Barnes (LC > 18 assists; K > 17 assists) led the way. Kingsland battled defensively (Kellyn Webster 14 digs; Taylor Zimmerman 12 digs; Kori Kruegel 4 kills; Kailey Link 6 assists, 7 digs, 14-14 serving). FC had too much offense (33 kills to 12). Always long on athleticism, Broadwater has been a force (leads FC in kills). T-Barnes has the second most digs in the TRC (Bill Bentson). The Falcons (7-1, 11-6) are tied with D-E (7-1, 12-6) and PEM (6-1, 7-1) while trailing #8 in Class A Caledonia (8-0, 17-2). They have matches left with D-E and Caledonia. The Knights are 2-5, 5-7.
