CHICKASHA – Carl Albert was in town Tuesday for the Lady Chicks’ first Suburban Conference volleyball match of the year and took a straight-game win back home to Midwest City.

Chickasha came out flat and never got going, losing in three straight, 25-18, 25-21 and 21-15.

“We gave up runs at the start of each game and put ourselves in a hole,” coach Nancy Waters said. “We gave them twelve points to start game three. You just can’t do that.”

Again, the stats, or lack of stats, tell the story.

“We had 39 attacks and finished with nine errors and just two kills,” the coach said. “We weren’t swinging and we weren’t aggressive.”

Julie Firebaugh had both kills but most of what the Chicks put up at the net didn’t get across it.

“They have that 6-3 girl up front and she just slammed everything we put up right back at us,” Waters said. “Carl Albert’s good but they’re beatable. We just let them take it to us.”

Hunter Fleetwood had three of the Chicks’ eight aces.

The JV lost in straight games 25-14 and 25-12 but the freshmen kept the night from being a total loss with a 25-18 win in game two of their match. They took the Titans to three games, losing game one 25-14 and the rubber game 15-9
