CBA VOLLEYBALL RALLIES TO BEAT ALL SAINTS
Calvary Baptist Academy rallied from behind twice to beat Bay City All Saints 23-25, 25-17, 27-29, 25-11, 15-6 in volleyball on Saturday. A day earlier, the Kings beat Genesee Christian 25-18, 25-21, 30-32, 19-25, 16-4, then lost to host Bad Axe 25-7, 25-18, 25-15 in a triangular.
“After a really late night of volleyball last night, we started out very sluggish this morning,” CBA coach Danelle Dickerson said of Saturday’s match. “Bay City All Saints played super scrappy, and there were many times early in the matches when we were just caught watching and reacting very slowly. We had to adapt to their style of play so we could get our offense working for us.
“It was a relief to play really well in games four and five to finish out the game and walk away with the win,” she added.
Caitlyn Dickerson paced the Kings with 15 kills and 11 digs, while Tori Ginac had seven kills, Angelina Gorman had 11 aces and eight digs, and Jenna Szilagyi finished with 28 assists.
In the win over Genesee Christian, Dickerson had 14 kills, 16 digs, and four aces, while Emma Schmidt had seven kills, six digs, and four aces, Gorman had 12 digs, and Szilagyi doled out 25 assists.
In the loss to Bad Axe, Schmidt had five kills and Szilagyi 10 assists.
