2A Playoffs

West Davidson 3, West Stanly 0

The young Colts, without a senior on the 2018 roster, traveled as the No. 13 seed to West Davidson to take on a No. 4 seeded Dragons squad with seniors seniors on its roster.

Scores of the match were 25-10, 25-12 and 25-18 in favor of West Davidson (23-6).

Dani Moss and Ali Sanders had six kills each for West Stanly (20-7) as the Colts had 22 kills in the match. Addie Barbee and Caylee Clayton each had nine digs each for West Stanly while also both adding a service ace.

Madison Kee and Kaylie Cleaver each had a block while the Colts had four block assists, one each from Kee, Cleaver, Moss and Addie Barbee.

“In the first set, we were hoping to be able to make adjustments to come back, but the Dragons proved to be too much,” head coach LaRhonda Watkins said. “Playing against a team with seven experienced seniors was the challenge facing the young team of West Stanly along with injuries. I couldn’t be more proud of (the Colts) and their accomplishments this season.”

West does not graduate a player from this year’s team which won the Rocky River Conference tournament crown.
