Centre girls sweep Flint Hills triangular
In a triangular played Sept. 5 at Flint Hills Christian School in Manhattan, the Centre High School volleyball team defeated Flint Hills and St. Xavier in two games each to improve their record to 4-1.
Despite the wins, Coach Yvonne Burhoop said the team didn't play well. She said they missed too many serves, getting 80-of-93 across the net.
"We have to become more consistent in our passing in order to execute a fight," she added.

Setters did a perfect job, Selena Seifert completing 19-of-19 and Samantha Alvarez 13-of-13.
Alyssa Luna led in spikes, completing 8-of-11 attempts, including six kills. Burhoop was 6-of-7 with two kills.
Alisha Barney and Teaira Turner contributed one block each.
The Lady Cougars defeated St. Xavier 25-11 and 25-8 in the second match. Burhoop again led in scoring serves for a total of 10 points, including four aces. Jessica Deines served for seven points including five aces, and Bridgette Burns scored six including four aces.
