CARMINE — The Round Top-Carmine High School volleyball team faced off against Prairie Lea High School Oct. 7 at Cubs Gym in Carmine and won in three sets by a final score of 25-23, 25-5, 25-7. This was an unusual situation as Prairie Lea only showed up with their varsity team, so in order for Round Top to get some reps for their junior varsity squad, they combined both teams and played as one where the JV team played the first set and the varsity team played the next two sets against Prairie Lea’s varsity team.
“We were able to get the JV some time in the first set,” said Round Top-Carmine head volleyball coach Catie Weishuhn. “Our original varsity rotation came in sets two and three and I thought overall it was a good win. Obviously, a few kinks we still need to work out, but I’m proud of our district opener and excited to see where the rest of the season takes us.”
Cubettes senior outside hitter Jessica Rohde had seven kills for the outing and was effective on offense for each of the three sets.
