KFDM COOP Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Lady Bears take down Orangefield in three Van Wade The Orange Leader ORANGEFIELD — While the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Lady Bears have had their eyes on Sept. 8 as their non-district schedule approaches the end, the Orangefield Lady Bobcats have been playing “up†in their non-district slate. LC-M got their second win of the season over Orangefield Tuesday night at Bobcat Gym but both teams got what they wanted out of the match. Coach Vicki Castino’s Lady Bears notched a 25-13, 25-16, 25-14 victory and will face Bridge City on the road Friday before opening up District 20-4A play next Tuesday in a “war†at home against the Port Neches-Groves Rock-A-Noos. The Lady Bobcats will not start District 21-3A play until Sept. 22 against West Orange-Stark but Coach Kristin Holbrooks’ young squad has played a monstrous non-district schedule against the likes of 4A teams like LC-M, Nederland, Beaumont Ozen, Lumberton and Vidor to have them solidly prepared for 21-3A battles. On Tuesday night, senior Lady Bear Christine Sicktich had an outstanding match overall, posting 16 points, two aces and 11 kills to pace LC-M (13-5). Shelby Apperson contributed seven kills for LC-M. Ashton LaVergne and Amy Laughlin added five kills apiece while Elissa Tate had four. Tate also served up eight points and two aces and Allison Walker had eight points and two aces. Shelby Sanchez played excellent defense for the Lady Bears and notched six points and three aces. Kalyn Harkness had seven points and an ace while Kellie Tilley had a good defensive effort and Michelle Rigsby had two kills. For the Lady Bobcats, freshman Rylie Granger and senior Aimee Scales led the way with four kills apiece while Carly Rucker and Ashlyn Lopez added three apiece. Ashlee Broussard led Orangefield’s service game with five points and an ace while Kassidy Hayes had four points. The Lady Bears jumped onto a 10-3 cushion in Game One and finished it off with 15 of the final 25 points. Orangefield grabbed an early 6-4 lead in Game Two but the Lady Bears went on a 8-1 spurt to go up 12-7 and controlled the final half of the game. The Lady Bobcats keptit close early in Game Three, trailing 11-9. LC-M was able to extend it to 18-13 and then ran away with seven of the game’s final eight points. The Lady Bears will visit Bridge City Friday with the varsity starting at 4:30 p.m. while the Lady Bobcats will entertain Nederland.
