All six volleyball seniors were in the lineup when Republic finished its win over Carthage — a fitting way to end Republic’s Senior Night tribute. Republic blew away Carthage, 25-10 25-18. They led 21-5 at one point in the second game.
The Lady Tigers honored six seniors: Missy Fernan, Mallory Long, Nicole Hallam, Briana Goforth, Kelsey Forbis and Alex Conklin. They have led Republic to a record of 20-4-2 this season. New coach Piper Wright has been impressed with their leadership, especially during the transition under a new coach.
“They have handled it unbelievably. I have never really had a class that has had so much leadership,” Wright said.
Hallam had four services aces for the Lady Tigers. Sarah Kreul had 13 assists. Goforth and Long led the defense with nine digs apiece.
