There’s no doubt that the Fruitport volleyball team has talent.
The only question was when the Trojans were going to start finding their game and winning more matches.
They took a nice step in that direction on Tuesday, winning a pair of matches over Reeths-Puffer and Ravenna at Reeths-Puffer High School.
The Trojans won both matches 2-0. They downed R-P 25-17, 25, 23 and Ravenna 25-17, 25-12.
Sadie Haase had a big night at the net, pounding 20 kills for the Trojans. Gracelynn Olson had 42 assists and Emma Fletcher served up four aces.
[1]Defensively, Lauren Reidel had 27 digs and Haase contributed two blocks.
The Trojans improved to 4-5 on the season.
“To learn to be a great team you have to learn to win,” said Fruitport Coach Nicole Bayle. “You have to learn to push and push and keep pushing, and our kids did a good job of that! I was very proud of our sustained effort and our ability to finish a game.”
