Woodford Volleyball

The Dunbar Bulldogs beat an over matched Woodford County volleyball team 2-0 (25-12, 25-11) in Lexington tonight.

Yellow Jacket coach Genny Ledbetter said it was the first time her team has faced an opponent as fast as Dunbar and the Bulldogs also boasted a much taller lineup.

But despite the loss, Ledbetter said her team adjusted pretty well and she was happy with how her team responded.

I have to admit, I've already grown fond of this Yellow Jacket team. They are a very young squad, with only two seniors on the varsity team and just one player with prior varsity experience.

I really appreciate the attitude the Volley-Jackets display. They always seem to enjoy themselves, even when down by double digits, and I have yet to see them quit. It's pretty inspiring to see a team getting beat, yet still smiling and encouraging one another.

They will likely continue to struggle through the remainder of the season, but I have a feeling they will probably upset someone along the way, and may even surprise some teams when the district tourney rolls around.
