Volleyball Weekend Recap

The volleyball team had two games against Georgia College, with one on Friday (Sep. 16) and one on Saturday (Sep. 17), and several milestones were set. 

*Sophomore defensive specialist Kori Still became the first Young Harris volleyballer with fifty appearances on Friday and currently has fifty-one. Meanwhile, classmate defensive specialist Kallee McKinney recorded her fiftieth appearance on Saturday. Still, McKinney, Alex Boydstone and Jessica Beckner are the only four that remain from the first season roster (Izzy Zamora was also on the roster in the first season, but she's one of the managers this year and not on the active roster). 

*Sophomore setter Mollie Lawrence also set Young Harris volleyball history with the first 300-assist season with her nineteenth of Friday's contest. Through Saturday (Sep. 17) she currently has 339 assists, extending her single-season record. 

*Then there's junior middle hitter Alex Pierre, who- correcting some of my earlier posts on the topic- is already in the top ten for volleyball games played for Young Harris. She appeared in her twenty-third game for the team on Saturday (Sep. 17), which is tied for ninth with Ginger Truncale. 

*Sophomore defensive specialist Joha Bernis and classmate outside hitter Lily Hidalgo can reach forty games played with their next game, which can be Tuesday (Sep. 20) against Lander. Fellow sophomores and middle hitters Sophie Bearden and Shelby Mullins each appeared in their thirty-fifth game in Friday's contest, and both have thirty-six appearances each.

Starting a 200 Club: Softball

Jackson Jones is a member of this club as he's appeared 204 times for the baseball team. In this blog post, though, I'm looking to add names to the list and I'm starting with the softball alumni.  Grace Botti appeared 222 times between 2016 and 2019  Murphy Davis appeared 214 times between 2015 and 2018 Sarah Magill appeared 205 times between 2013 and 2016  Chandler Stooksbury appeared 208 times between 2014 and 2017  Jill Torres appeared 244 times between 2017 and 2021 Haylie Shope , if pitcher and first base appearances are separate, had 183 appearances at first base and 34 in the circle for 217 total. We then add 47 appearances in basketball and she appeared 264 times overall between 2018 and 2021 (she's in the 200 club with the 47 basketball games played as she's at 230 without the pitching appearances).  So thus far, this is the 200 Club: Grace Botti Murphy Davis Jackson Jones Sarah Magill  Haylie Shope  Chandler Stooksbury Jill Torres

Women's Lacrosse: Career Goals Update

If the season is over (and if she's not returning for her grad year), senior attacker Ashlyn Fraley will finish up a 71-game Young Harris career with 136 goals, the fifth-most in Mountain Lion women's lacrosse history. Only Nicole Kernohan, Kendra Parenteau, Taylor Greenberg and Ella Hancock have scored more.   *It's worth noting, however, that Fraley is the only person in the top five in terms of goals to need less than 200 shots on goal to get her goals- she only need 199 shots on target, so she scored on an impressive 68% of her shots on frame.
