Winsted KAHS junior high volleyball teams traveled to Winsted Thursday, Sept. 18, to compete against the Holy Trinity Trojans. The young Cubs used their 6-2 offense and were successful in many areas. The Cubs once again set several goals and met more than half of them. The team wanted to serve at least 50 percent and made 26 of 41 for a 63 percent average. Another goal was to create five set attempts; the team exceeded the goal by two. The girls also wanted to have at least two hits per set. In this area they were successful six times. Things are really starting to come together; the girls had set a goal to have eight dropped balls or less and they only dropped two total. The Cubs will continue to work on calling the ball and getting more wins. Game scores for the night were 25-22 and 26-24 with the win going to the Trojans.
