Published October 31, 2009 01:48 am - El Dorado Springs first foe for CHC By Anvil Welch
awelch@joplinglobe.com College Heights Christian coach Karla Gaines believes the Cougars will be facing El Dorado Springs today for the first time as they tangle in the sectional round of the MSHSAA Class 2 volleyball playoffs. Spring River Valley Conference champion College Heights (25-5-2) and the Bulldogs (24-6-4) will open the program at 3 p.m. at Strafford High School. The second match at 4:30 sends Fair Grove (33-3) against Clever (27-6-1). Fair Grove is ranked sixth and CHC seventh by the Missouri High School Volleyball Coaches Association. El Dorado Springs is in the teams considered category. The winners will clash 30 minutes after the second match in a quarterfinal to decide a representative next week at Kansas City in Municipal Auditorium. CHC coach Karla Gaines said Friday night that the Cougars join El Dorado Springs and Clever in returning to the Strafford Sectionals. Ash Grove, which lost to fair Grove in District 9, ousted CHC 25-23, 25-23 in 2008. El Dorado Springs lost to Clever in the sectional round. Gaines said the Cougars and El Dorado Springs were in the Branson Tournament and each lost to Camdenton by a similar score. “We’ve come up with bits and pieces (to compile a scouting report),” Gaines said. “They have a couple of strong outside hitters. We know, too, they’ve had an outstanding program for many years. “You have to be a well-rounded team to get to this level,” Gaines said. “We’ve had a good week of practice,” Gaines said. “The girls realize they have to play very hard and be mentally tough. “I believe the girls are ready to play,” Gaines said. “They’re excited and looking forward to the challenge.” The veteran Cougar cast includes one senior in Kelsi Bodine. Gaines said that juniors Hannah Braeckel, Makayla Fuller, Konner McIntire, Kaylee Ohmart, Hannah Snow and Missy Sterling will take care of the other starting duty.
