GLADSTONE — The Gladstone girls volleyball team did some things right in their home opener but ultimately fell to Kingsford’s skillful serving. The Flivvers took the match in straight sets, (25-16, 25-7, 25-11) at Gladstone Thursday.
The Braves showed potential in the first set, taking the lead on a small run near the start — thanks, in part, to a tip-over from Joyce Barron.
“I think running our 6-2 this year (worked well tonight),” Braves coach Averi Kanyuh said of her inaugural match. “We had good serves, and our hitters did a good job adjusting to the sets, and our setters did a good job adjusting to passes when they were pulled off the net.
