BELLVILLE — The Bellville High School volleyball team won a close match with Floresville High School Sept. 2 at Brahmas Gym in a five set win with the Brahmanettes fighting all the way through for the duration of the match to eventually come out with the victory.
“We lost our libero and had to make some changes,” said Bellville head volleyball coach Susan Brewer. “That threw us off for a bit. Leah Lischka stepped in and did a nice job. We also had our best defensive specialist out, so passing was a bit rough. They are a good team.
We were glad to win with the adjustments.
Bellville sophomore Kinleigh Dinges had some big kills throughout the match.
"In a five set match as an outside, you must always keep your composure, stay aggressive, and don’t be a tentative player.”
