SOUTH WHITLEY -ÊWhitko's volleyball team hosted a young Manchester squad Thursday night and put a mark in the Wildcat win column. The Whitko team won the contest in two straight matches, 15-11, 15-3.

After several more possession and lead changes, the score stood at 11-11 as Whitko's Amy Till stepped to the line to serve. Till served four straight points to earn Whitko's first win of the evening, 15-11.

Following a short break, the Squires and Wildcats switched sides of the net and began the second match of the game.
Frantz jumpstarted the Wildcat effort as she served up three points in the second match. Before long, the Wildcats jumped out to an 8-1 lead before Manchester scored two more points.
"We have been working on our serve reception this week," said Manchester coach Jessica Tate, "but once we got that together, everything else seemed to fall apart. We did make a world of improvement in serve receptions."
Several more possession changes ensued, and Whitko held an 11-3 lead when Stacie Warner moved into the serving position. She served four straight points, including one ace, to make the final score Whitko 15, Manchester 3.
"Against Wabash, we lost the first match and were down the rest of the game," said McCammon. "So all this week we have worked on staying intense and strong the whole game. Tonight the girls came through and did that."
"We are improving," said Tate. "This team is really coming together. We're young and have a lot to learn, but later in the season we will be much better."
