With the Hot Springs game going into a holiday weekend, no Live Stream and not being able to attend the game myself it was hard to catch up with anyone to get stats but I was lucking enough to be able to interview one of the team captains Rusty Gasvoda, which I must say was an absolute pleasure. Gasvoda said he felt that the Pioneers had a much better experience than they had against #2 ranked White Sulphur last week. Against Hot Springs they got off to a slow start and couldn't get much going...
By Carolyn Mosier Belt Tournament Results At the Belt tournament the Lady Pioneers had the opportunity to play five teams but not like a normal volleyball match when each set goes to 25 points usually taking the best three out of five. Instead, according to Coach McKenney, in the Belt tournament they had teams lined out exactly who you were playing and you played them in two sets to just 21 so all in all they played five different teams to two sets to 21 and there were no real championship...
