FRHS stays perfect with sweep

FORT RECOVERY — The Indians haven’t lost a match this season.

They haven’t dropped a set in their last four matches.

Fort Recovery High School’s volleyball team continued its hot start to the season Saturday with a 25-23, 25-12, 25-14 sweep of the Arcanum Trojans.

The victory was the fourth sweep in a row for the undefeated Tribe, which also beat Parkway, Jay County and National Trail in three sets. (Their season opener was a 19-25, 25-23, 25-21, 20-25, 15-7 win over Memorial.)

Senior Mara Pearson set the tone for Fort Recovery on Saturday as she recorded team highs of 11 kills and seven digs. She was also 10-of-11 from behind the service line with a pair of aces.

Paige Guggenbiller added eight kills and three blocks, and Cali Wendel had six digs and three aces. Kayla Heitkamp put up a team-best 17 assists, and Megan Evers matched Wendel with three aces.

The Indians, who were 2-4 in their first six matches in 2022, will seek to keep their strong start rolling when they visit the Celina Bulldogs on Tuesday.
