BC’s Myers heads above 21-3A rivals

BRIDGE CITY — A lot of Bridge City volleyball fans will be quick to answer who they believe the best player in District 21-3A was this season.

Lady Cardinal senior Audrey Myers was flat out ridiculous at times during matches.

Just take into account the 31 kills the senior spiker threw down this past Saturday in Silsbee against the Lady Tigers.

The five-game victory gave the Lady Cardinals the first place seeding out of District 21-3A and proved yet again when Myers is on — there are not too many people around who can stop her.

“It has been a really good year,†Myers said. “It has been even better than my junior year. I have improved individually and so has the team in a lot of ways. My attitude has improved a lot since last year and I’ve become more consistent with my hitting.â€

Myers had several goals heading into her senior season and did a lot of work in the offseason to make sure the goals were met.

“First goal was for us to get first in district, which we did,†Myers added. “That was an awesome match. The game was a battle and it felt great to get the win. Mainly for myself I ran a lot during the summer to make sure I was in shape. I tried my hardest because I knew this year would be the hardest.â€

The Lady Cardinals finished the district schedule with a 13-1, matching the record the Lady Tigers ended up with. Both teams defeated the other on the road.

Myers found it easy to describe the difference between this year and last year’s squad which bowed out in the bi-district round of the playoffs.

“We are a lot quicker and we are more disciplined,†Myers said. “We hustle to every ball. Our defense is the best around. We know you can’t have an offense without a defense.â€

While the regular season is over, Myers is still not finished in her mind.

“My sophomore year we made it into the third round so this year I want to do the same or even go farther,†Myers added. “I think we are a lot more prepared this year for the playoffs. We now have to be quick and if you make a mistake, we have to make up for them. The teams in the playoffs will be a lot tougher than we played in district.â€

The bad news for those opponents is Myers could be a lot better than what they seen all year as well.
