Sweeps week: Cards take nine sets

Carrington concluded their District 5 season with four wins in six total matches, and are slated to be the number three seed in the upcoming tournament in Leal starting this Thursday.

The Cardinals ended league play with a 3-0 (25-13, 25-20, 25-13) win over Griggs/Midkota last Monday night, October 17, following another three-set sweep four nights earlier over Kidder County by the count of 25-14, 25-15 and 25-20.

Intra-regional play against Kidder County saw the return of the annual "Pink Night," in which CHS players, coaches and students raise money to fight breast cancer and promote awareness of the disease during its designated month of October. As part of that evening, the Cards donned their alternate pink jerseys.

That night, Haley Wolsky had the big night for the Cards in the kill statistic with 16 total. Madison Johnson added eight and Emma Hone seven more.

The Wendel sisters, senior Kennedy and sophomore Isabel, were the team's respective leaders in blocks with four and assists with 24.

Allison Jarrett finished with a team-high 21 digs against the Wolves.

In the win over the Titans, Johnson hit double digits with 10 kills, while Hone contributed seven. Isabel Wendel had a perfect night serving with 30 for 30, and placed down eight aces in the victory. She would also lead the way with 17 assists.

Hone was the top blocker with three stuffs, and Mya Schroeder had a successful Senior night as the dig leader with 16 digs.

Griggs/Midkota's (5-13, 1-5 District 5) stats were not available at press time. The two teams will meet in the first round of the District 5 Tournament Thursday night, with Carrington sitting as the number three seed and Griggs/Midkota at number six.

Last Tuesday, the Cards hit the road for Napoleon, which will be the site for the Region 3 Tournament starting on November 7. CHS took another three-set sweep over the Napoleon/Gackle-Streeter Imperials, 25-18, 25-15 and 25-21.

Statistics from the N-G-S match were not available at press time.

Carrington improved to a record of 24-6 in all matches with the victories.
