The Times Advocate, 2006-03-01, Page 17Wednesday, March 1, 2006 Exeter Times–Advocate 17 Junior girls end season EXETER — The SHDHS junior girls volleyball team ended the season on a posi- tive note winning four out of six games in their final league matches. Due to a slow start at the beginning of the season, the team was unsuccessful in reaching the final playoff round, missing out by one win, but great improvement was definitely witnessed throughout the few months. Lindsay Jayne Hayter and Natalie Hayes finished the season superbly with great blocking and hitting by Hayter and strong coverage, big hits and serving by Hayes. Hayes is a `quiet leader' with her amazing skill level. Captains Rosie Van Elswyk and Bryn Price were again leaders with smart coverage and leadership traits demonstrated throughout the day and the whole season. Both girls successfully worked hard at gelling the team together and welcoming the rookies. Kelsey Hern, Lauren Haberer and Marlee Baehnisch played strongly against Northwestern help- ing to win the final game 27-25 for a perfect 'come from behind' win. Hern and Haberer had key blocks at the net while Baehnisch demonstrated her setting prowess. In the next matches against Mitchell, Natalie Hayes served nine straight serves with smart consistent serving from rookies, mid- dle Mairead O'Rourke, set- ter Jenna Easton and power Julia Roberts. Rookies Carrie Powe and Evelyn Johns covered the net superbly with nice hits and blocks. Liberos Sandra Gregus and Kacie Erb were key players throughout the day playing the tough position with great finesse. This group of talented vol- leyball players should be commended for their total dedication to the team - practicing hard and using these new skills in the games. Elementary school basketball players from Exeter, Stephen Central, Zurich, Usborne and Hensall Public were on the courts at South Huron District High School Feb. 23 for a tournament. In the girls 'A' final Stephen edged Zurich 18- 16 while in the 'B' final Exeter defeated Usborne 10-9. On the boys side Exeter defeated Usborne 14-8 in the `A' final.
