The Faith Academy Bellville Volleyball team improved to 4-1 in District 9-A play and 11-7-3 overall with a 3-0 win over then district leader Conroe Calvary Baptist. The Lady Knights then travelled to Weimer and beat the Lady Wildcatsโ Junior Varsity Purple team, 2-0.
FA will host Kingwood Covenant Prep (3-3 District 9-A) at 6 p.m., Tuesday, October 3 before traveling to face Conroe Lifestyle Christian (5-1 District 9-A) at 6 p.m. Thursday, October 5.
โIt was a good week for the girls,โ Head Coach Joshua McLain said. โWe played sluggish at home versus Calvary but got the needed win to stay out in front for a title run. We just have to take care of things the rest of the season and we will be fine.โ
Senior middle blocker Hannah Taake helped propel the team against Conroe Calvary with an offensive spark.ย She lead the Lady Knights to the 25-14, 25-16, 25-12 district win.
โEveryone played their usual part but Hannah stepped up and did some things we needed her to do in order to be successful and get the win,โ McLain said. โThe team really pulled together and put them (Calvary) away.โ
Against the Weimer Junior Varsity Purple team FA wasted no time finishing the match. The Lady Knights took a 25-5, 25-9 win.
โWe had a spot open on the schedule and it worked for us to go and play them,โ McLain said. โWe were able to work on things we have been adding in practice. Weimer has a good program and we have their varsity on tap in October.โ
Sophomore setter Gabby Yates stepped up and took over the setting duties against Weimer JV.ย
โGabby did a nice job for us,โ the coach said. โWith more training she will be a good piece for us and another needed option for the team as we go deeper into the season.โ
