Hurricane wins tough battle over Tigers in McClain gym

GREENFIELD — In a closely-contested match, Wilmington outlasted McClain 29-27, 25-17, 25-27, 25-23 Wednesday night in a non-league volleyball in Highland County.

The battle of former South Central Ohio League rivals puts Wilmington at 2-1 on the season.

“We came out a little slow but midway through the first set something clicked and they were moving the ball, talking and, most importantly, having fun,” WHS coach Stephanie Reveal said. “We played some great volleyball, did a lot of little things right. Was fun watching them play.”

Brynn Bryant was a titan at the net with 20 kills and also had 22 digs. Aidynne Tippett had 39 set assists. Madi Schuster served 13 points.

“We need to clean up our serving in crunch times,” Reveal admitted.
