Republic’s volleyball team didn’t leave any doubt against Waynesville Thursday night, sweeping the home match 25-15, 25-11, 25-12 for its third straight win.
Reese Finley and Audrey Pearce led the offense with nine kills apiece*, and Finley ran the attack with 22 assists. Addyson Warner anchored the back row with 11 digs, Rylee Dishman served up four aces, and Kate Mitchell had three blocks at the net.
Coach Allison Davis said the win was a good tune-up for the Rockwood Invitational, where Republic will see quality competition this weekend. The field includes Rock Bridge, Lutheran St. Charles, Francis Howell Central, Francis Howell North, and Rockwood Summit.
The tough stretch doesn’t end there. Republic faces Kickapoo and Ozark next week.

The varsity win improves the Lady Tigers to 7-1.
