The Lady Rebels always find a way to pull out those close sets. But the next two sets were way different. They lost 18-25 and 17-25 to be down 2-1 in the match with their backs against the wall. The Lady Rebels climbed and stole the last 2 sets, making a statement. The Lady Rebels won 25-16, 15-6. Naomi Wheeler said after the game “ We fought hard and came back”. What a win for the Lady Rebels.

The Lady Rebels will take their energy and will head to Madison Southern on Monday, August 31st.

On August 27, the volleyball team traveled to Campbellsville to take on the Eagles in a big out-of-region matchup. The first set was a long one. The Rebels lost the first set 27- 29. When we asked senior Reece Klosterman about the first set, she said, “We just couldn’t get over the hump”. But the Second set was different for the Lady Rebels. They won the 2nd set 27-25 in another long and grueling set. But they connected a few plays together to get the points they needed to win. Unfortunately, the last 2 sets were not on the Rebels' side; they lost 18-25 and 22-25. Overall, it was a frustrating loss for the Rebels as they were able to keep it close in every set. On the bright side, the Rebels showed promise on the statistical side of the game.

On August 25th the Lady Rebels and Lady Admirals battled for the win at Rebels Stadium. Both sides were preparing to set themselves up for the win, but ultimately Lady Rebels controlled the court and won 3 sets to 0.

In the first half of the game Lady Rebels started off with a strong 7-0 lead. Danville served some back, but it wasn’t enough to beat The Lady Rebels. It was a good outing for senior Lilly Turner, who also had some good feedback from the win on Tuesday, “...district games are always the toughest and the most mentally challenging, and Danville has definitely done a lot to grow their program, however I feel like we came out there to do what just needed to be done, and just stuck to what we know and did what we have been taught, and stuck to our coaching.” 

Boyle Lady Rebels are now taking their win and preparing to head to play the Campbellsville Eagles on August 27th.

The Lady Rebels opened up district play at DCA, looking to start District play off right. The Lady Rebels got off to a hot start, winning the first set 25-13. It was smooth sailing from there. As senior Lily Turner said, “ Once we get up on a team and get them down, Coach K wants us to keep our foot on the pedal and not let up. And they did not in deed. The second set wasn’t any different from the first. The Lady Rebels won 25-9. And just like the first and second, they won the third set 25-7.

The team showed a strong all-around performance, finishing with 27 kills, 13 errors, and a .230 hitting percentage. Maleeah Smith and Jayce Haddix led the offense with seven kills each, while Jayce recorded an impressive .600 hitting percentage. Reece Klosterman contributed 15 assists, helping keep the offense organized and creating opportunities for the attackers. The team also had 27 service aces, with Macie Broadwater leading the way with seven, while the defense recorded 12 digs, two solo blocks, and two block assists. 

Senior Shelby Thompson told me after that that they played together as a team and keeped the energy up the whole game. The Lady Rebels play next Tuesday against Danville at 7.

They used their scrappy defense to keep the ball from landing on their side, putting them up nine points, 21-12, at one point.

To no surprise, the Maroons took hold of the fourth set and finished it off, making the final score of the fourth 25-21. 

The fans in the gym were roaring with excitement going into the fifth set, with both teams chanting back and forth throughout the set. The Rebels got a good 3 point lead at the beginning, 5-2.

Senior Kendra Christopher offered words of wisdom during the game: “We have to keep our energy high and play for one another”. When asked about last night's game, Junior Ashlen Young who had to step in and set for the Rebels said, “The game went well as we were thrown a curveball when Gracee went down.
