[adning id=”33097″]
The Miller Grove Lady Hornets hosted Rivercrest Tuesday, looking to get themselves closer to the .500 mark. Miller Grove opened their season last week with a number of games against bigger opponents, including Paris, Community, Mount Vernon, Sulphur Springs and Grand Saline.
For just the second time this season, Miller Grove was going up against an opponent who was 2A or lower. Their other such game came against Dodd City, who they beat 3-2 last Friday.
The Lady Hornets set the tone from the opening set, dominating Rivercrest the entire way. Miller Grove took the first set 25-14, before handling them again in the second set by a score of 25-13.
Looking to stave off being swept, Rivercrest was able to put up a better fight in the third set. Despite Rivercrest’s best effort, the Lady Hornets were still able to control the set, winning 25-17 and putting the game away in straight sets.
Jaci Roberson led the way offensively, putting up an impressive 19 kills. Roberson also had three blocks, two aces and one dig.
