Dexter, Missouri – The annual Hits for Hope Volleyball game held at the Bearcat Event Center raised more than $3,000 dollars for the 18FORE Life Foundation. The Lady ‘Cats also came out on top defeating Leopold 25-9, 25-20.
Players, spectators, coaches and even the referees wore pink to support the Hits for Hope fundraiser.
“It’s a wonderful cause,” stated Morgan. “We are so happy we get to participate in it. It almost brings tears to my eye when they start announcing who the kids are playing for each year. It’s an emotional game and the kids get up for it. The parents did a great job decorating. The 18FORE Life is one of the best things I have heard of and we are proud to be a part of it.”
Julia Hahn and Jessica Lindsey led the Bearcats with 6 digs each. Shyann Jines and Ashlyn Werneck added 4 digs each.
Shyann Jines had 3 aces. Krysten Garrison had 1 ace.
Jessica Lindsey had 9 kills. Krysten Garrison and Shyann Jines each tallied 7 kills. Julia Hahn had a team-high 16 assists.
“We knew they would come out a little stronger the second set,” commented Dexter’s head volleyball coach Carmen Morgan. “The first set we went out and took care of business. We wanted to be the ones hitting and make them play defense. I felt like we did that the first game.”
Dexter’s Junior Varsity also won both of their sets 25-3, 25-8.
