3-0 win not enough for Lady Commodores

Last season’s run to the Class 4A state tournament has lit a fire under the Lafayette Lady Commodores volleyball team.

That fact was never more evident than on Tuesday, when despite beating Water Valley 3-0 (25-18, 25-11, 25-14) the Lady Commodores still wanted more. (September 1, 2010, Page 7)

Lady ‘Dores knock off WVHS

A complete team effort proved to be the key to a 3-0 (25-9, 25-18, 25-6) win for the Lafayette Lady Commodores over the Water Valley Lady Blue Devils Tuesday.

A day after LHS defeated Senatobia to win its first district match of the season, the team turned around Tuesday and recorded another important district win over WVHS. LHS topped Senatobia 3-0 on Monday and then handled Water Valley with the use of a solid service game and aggressive kill shots.

For LHS coach Rachel Wenzel, playing back-to-back days was a good thing because her team will have to play three matches on Saturday in the Tupelo Volleyfest. (August 25, 2010, Page 9)

LHS volleyballers gearing up for another run at State

If experience breeds confidence, the Lafayette Lady Commodores volleyball squad has nothing to worry about in 2010.

When Lafayette hits the court today at Tupelo for its season opener, its roster will be overflowing with both, confidence and experience.

Less than a year removed from the playing Center Hill in the Class 4A state championship match, the Lady Commodores will accept nothing less than another shot at bringing home a title.
And with a squad that boasts six seniors, second-year head coach Rachel Wenzel likes her team’s chances. (August 10, 2010, Page 7)
