Jay swept Raiders

PONETO — The Allen County Athletic Conference championship is still in range for the Patriots. Beating the Raiders just got them one step closer.

The Jay County High School volleyball team swept the Southern Wells Raiders 25-19, 25-21, 25-19 on Tuesday to remain undefeated in the ACAC.

Hallie Schwieterman led the Patriots (15-8, 4-0 ACAC) with nine kills, while Paisley Fugiett added seven. Both Maria Hemmelgarn and Mya Kunkler had six kills apiece.

Schwieterman also led with two of the team’s six aces.

Brenna Schmiesing had a team-high five blocks to power the defensive efforts at the net.

Lani Muhlenkamp dug out 10 balls, while Fugiett had 20 assists.

Allred lifts

HARTFORD CITY — Kady Allred scored the lone goal to lead the Jay County girls soccer team past the Blackford Bruins on Tuesday 1-0.

Allred’s goal came with 2 minutes, 13 seconds, remaining in the first half after Raylin Hummer found her for an assist.

Maleah Parsons only needed to make one save to keep the Bruins (7-9) scoreless.

The Patriots (9-4-1) travel to Muncie Central tonight in the regular season finale before taking on host Yorktown in the sectional opener Tuesday.
