BELLVILLE — The Bellville High School volleyball team defeated Giddings High School at Brah- mas Gym Sept. 5 by a final score of 25-16, 19-25, 25-15, 25-22. Bellville dominated the first set and Giddings answered, but the Brahmanettes were able to hang on with their clutch gene and put down timely points. “Giddings came here loaded for bear,” said Bellville head volleyball coach Susan Brewer.
“I thought they were very active, I thought they were very energetic, had a lot of effort, and played a real solid game. They had a couple of weapons. They did a really good job. Kudos to their team. I thought they worked their tail off on defense, so I thought they did a nice job. After the first game, I felt like we got a little bit complacent. On my part, I was changing a few things up, trying a couple little different things, but still not an excuse. I felt like we got just a little bit complacent, then we had to work a little harder to comeback, so that’s good for us. We might need that in the future. I was proud of the effort the girls gave to come back and play a little bit better ball.”
Junior outside hitter Sydney McKay is the leader on offense and showed up for the duration of the game with big-time kills. McKay also plays for the Houston Juniors 17 Elite club team. “Playing in Houston year round and getting as many reps as I do there, it helps me here and it helps me help other people,” McKay said. “I think reps just help me so much. It’s always reps. I do lessons and I think just having a ball in my hands helps a lot.”
