It’s Homecoming week at Brookings-Harbor High School, and Tuesday night at Bruins Arena the seats were filled with loud volleyball fans drenched in pink for Pink Day.
Coach Lorinda Shew’s girls varsity Volleyball team came out with an extra spring in their step as the Pink wave in the stands pushed them to exceptional play. The team seemed to jump a little higher at the net and get on the floor a little quicker for digs with the loudest volley ball gym of the year so far.
Defense led the way for the Lady Bruins on Tuesday night as senior Destiny Lopez, junior Sonoe Fanene and sophomore Shelby Jirsa led the team with 6 digs each, followed by senior Mayce McCollum and sophomore Gracie Harms who each had 5 digs of their own. As a team, the Lady Bruins kept play alive with 34 digs on the night.
The Lady Bruins, led by Sanoe Fanene with 7 kills, had 23 kills on the night. The kills were spread out amongst the team with Mayce McCollum finishing off 6 kills, Cartyr Fitzhugh and Shelby Jirsa each had 3 and Sierra Fitzhugh and Gracie Harms each had 2 on the night.
Serving and errors hurt the Lady Bruins at key moments during the matches as the Lady Bruins could only muster 2 Aces off the serve, and 24 hitting errors allowed Douglas to take the win in 3 straight matches.
The Lady Bruins will be at home again during homecoming week Thursday night at 6:30pm as they match-up against the 4-4 Crusaders of St. Mary’s, Medford.
