Wolves eliminate Dragons for Second Straight Season.

Written Wednesday November 6th, at 8:45 PM

The Girls Volleyball season came to an end on Wednesday night at Clarkston. The Clarkston faithful chanted “just like football” in reference to the 49-28 victory over Lake Orion for the Wolves while the Lake Orion faithful was disappointed for a second straight season.

The Wolves beat the Dragons for the fifth time in six meetings with a four game win 24-26, 22-25, 25-17, and 23-25 in the district semifinals and eliminated Lake Orion for a second straight season.

The Dragons were led by Tess Marshall’s 12 kills but the Wolves were led by Taylor Dellinger’s 18 kills.

Lake Orion could not in the games they lost grab the lead from Clarkston whether it was from service errors or mental mistakes. I thought Hannah Murdock was average tonight, there were plays she did well but there were those she struggled tonight. I thought Rachel Giwa played well along with Kayla Rockey and Hannah Suciu in the inside.

The Wolves two seniors Katie Chadwell, who is going to Oakland on a volleyball scholarship and Kacy Robinson both did well in the inside and were gaining kills for Clarkston as well for coach Kelly Avernall.

Lake Orion concludes the season with question marks heading into next season. It looks like Kori Varney will be the next liberio replacing Ally Shinouskis but the Dragons lose Maddie Hargraves, Tess Marshall, Hannah Sucuiu, and Kayla Rockey in the middle but do return Murdock, Giwa, Marley Redd, Natalie Wehner, and Nicole Wehner but others will have to step up for Dragons coach Ross Talbott heading into 2014.
