Champaign St. Matthew defeated the Honeybears
in three sets.
After a 28-26 set one thriller won by Mount Pulaski, the Raiders
came back to win the next two sets 25-16 and 25-20.
Ella Martin led Mount Pulaski with 17 kills. She also had 10
digs and 5 aces.
Maebri Bender had 30 assists and 5 aces.
Kaylyn Eskew had 9 kills and 5 digs.
Haylee Cowan had 7 digs and 4 aces.
The Honeybears ended the season with a 17-4 record.
There was understandable disappointment following the early exit
from the tournament, however, Coach Hannah Cameron and her
coaching staff have a lot to look forward to as these eighth
graders make the move to high school next season.
“This team holds a close place in our hearts,” said Coach
Cameron. “They have transformed immensely in the last two years.
We are very proud of them.”
