The Eagles went 1-3 in the tournament, however, Nelson under the circumstances, she was pleased with her team’s play.
“We have had six lineup changes and that is always difficult,” Nelson said. JV players Sayde Taggart and Anna Poole are expected to produce quickly and Ginny Lewis, used as a backup, was thrust into a key role.
“They responded well,” Nelson said.
The Eagles lost to Metro Academy in the first match and then lost to host Eldon. However, the Eagles bounced back and defeated Boonville by 25-21, 20-25, 25-14 scores.
