Kenston volleyball team beats West Geauga, remains unbeaten in conference play
CHESTERLAND - The Kenston volleyball team pushed its Chagrin Valley Conference win streak to 86 as the Bombers defeated West Geauga 25-17, 20-25, 25-19, 25-21 on Wednesday night at West Geauga High School.
Emily Newell had a career high 12 kills for Kenston, which also got a great game from Jaime Kosiorek. She finished with 23 digs and 20 kills. Setter Lori Zagar had 59 assists.
Emma Cipriani had a good game for the Wolverines as she had 16 kills and 16 digs. Annie Dolphin earned 25 digs and Haley Blazek had 37 assists for the Wolverines.
Kenston is now 7-6 and 6-0 in the CVC. West G fell to 8-6, 3-3.
Bombers on top of CVC, but losses mount elsewhere
Last week's volleyball match between Kenston and Chagrin Falls figured to be an important test in the Chagrin Division of the CVC. Some local writers opinioned the Tigers higher than the Bombers.
Sure, the Bombers had won eight consecutive conference championships that spanned 83 consecutive Chagrin wins. That's 10 straight wins for eight seasons in the CVC and three this season -- 83 wins without a loss.
But this year's Kenston group is young, playing two juniors -- Molly Goldsword and Alexis Taylor -- the rest sophomores including, Taylor Curtis, Emily Newell, K.T. Coverdale, Stephanie Bindernagle and Jaime Kosiorek.
Coach's Corner
Welcome to the 2011 Volleyball season! I must catch you up on all that has happened this season so far and through the summer. The summer was a big success, we had to build from the ground up and start over after we lost some key players from last year. Even though we graduated 5 players we return 6, we even get one back one that we had lost to injury. Adding to that mix we have added a very athletic group of young Sophomore's. This summer we knew we were going to be young but that didn't seem to bother us as we played some of the best teams in Ohio as usual, we did very well and shocked a lot of people with how well we played being as young as we are, 2 Seniors, 4 Juniors, and 6 Sophomore's.
This brings us to our season, yes, we are 0-2 however, we have played 2 of the best teams in Ohio and we have competed with them. Toledo St. Ursula who is last years D1 State Champs, and Magnificat who always make it to a regional playoff game. Being a young team it is going to take some time to be able to finish games a deal with the pressure of doing so, but I am sure by the time post season arrives these kids will be ready and up to the challenge to survive the run deep into the State Playoffs again.
We open up our CVC schedule with our first home game Thursday night against West G, please come take a look at a team that will be together for a while as we try to continue our winning streak in the CVC, the number at the moment is 80! This may be one of the most challenging seasons at Kenston since I have been here so come on out and watch the Lady Bombers play, we only have 6 home games this season.
