MHS VOLLEYBALL LOSES TO KING Home Stories Written by Don Brubaker The Vipers lost in straight games and are eliminated from playoff contention. Time for another crucial District volleyball match for the Vipers.
They hosted State-ranked King Tuesday night. Starting with game two action, Angela Robisheaux with one of her ten digs, to Katelyn Rather, who had seven assists, to Allie McGehee. Four kills for McGehee. However, the Lady Mustangs took game one 25-17, and game two 25-15. Tabby Zella led the Vipers in assists with nine, here's one of them to Brooke Smith, three kills for her. Still too much King, as the Lady Mustangs took game three 25-8 and the match. With the loss, the Vipers fall to 4-8 in District and out of playoff contention. Post-match react now from Vipers head coach Jamye Pauley. "I don't care", said Pauley. "Everyone says they're state-ranked, that doesn't mean anything. Whoever shows up to play will win. The girls say they want it and they have to prove it. There has to be a point where we can step up and prove that. It's not that we can't do it because we can, it's just that we didn't do it." Friday night the Vipers play at Judson.

Lovelyone12 - Nothing personal against you. Note: On personal attacks, we agree...noone should be trying to belittle the players and we shouldn't be trying to make any 1 player look better than another specially if the stats don't prove it.
am260344- "Well said"!
We apologize for the things that you all see. It is not intended for the players to see however if we could keep the parents to stay in their seats and encourage you and not to try to caoch the game, your record would be way better!
BY WES BLOOMQUIST - WBLOOMQUIST@VICAD.COM Originally published October 14, 2009 at 12:03 a.m., updated October 14, 2009 at 12:42 a.m. Katelyn Rather knew beating Converse Wagner was a near must-win situation for the Memorial. As a three-year starter, she came into this season wanting to make the playoffs for the first time in her career and understood a loss to the Lady Thunderbirds would put the Lady Vipers in a huge hole.
After a five-set loss on Tuesday, the senior knows the team's playoff hopes took a big hit.
"We started out bad, picked it up and then went back and forth between the two the whole time," said Rather, after Wagner took a 25-23, 17-25, 25-22, 11-25, 15-10 win at the MHS senior campus gym. "To falter at the last moment was really hard to take.
"I'm disappointed in the loss but overall we played pretty well. We never gave up and fought the whole time."
Rather finished the game with 16 assists and seven digs, but couldn't stop Wagner's fifth-game performance in which it never trailed. Memorial (11-20, 3-7) has four games remaining on its schedule and must win every one in order to have a chance to make the playoffs.
"Collectively, we may have played the best we have this season but there were let-ups that we couldn't afford," Memorial head coach Jamye Pauley said. "We had to fight for every point, in every game and we didn't do that. It's disappointing because we really had to have this game and we were right there."
Brooke Smith led the Lady Vipers with 21 digs, Angela Robisheaux contributed 19 and Bianca Trevino had 16. Allie McGehee led the team with 14 kills and Tabby Zella had 20 assists for Memorial.
Memorial is back in action on Friday at San Antonio Highlands at 7:15 p.m. before returning home next Tuesday to host Corpus Christi King at 7 p.m.
