Monday was a success for the Hillcrest Academy Raven volleyball team as they protected their home court in the first round of the playoffs, sweeping away area school Keota in a Class 1A Regional contest in straight sets. The Ravens were a winner by three matching scores of 25-13. Following the match, Raven seniors Kylee Statler and Malia Yoder joined KCII Sports to talk about the keys to their win.

Yoder said, “We were all super-excited. There’s a little extra pressure, especially being seniors, this could have been our last game. We knew going into tonight, we couldn’t beat ourselves. We cut down on little mistakes and started gaining more momentum.

Statler added, “At the end of the second set everyone’s defense and coverage was really good. Whenever someone got down, we brought each other back up. Playing at home is great. The energy in the gym and from the student section tonight was great.”
