Although it was another conference loss, Houston volleyball coach Loran Richardson said this is one she can live with.
Richardson said she was proud of her team’s effort Thursday night in a 25-17, 25-21 defeat to Willow Springs inside Hiett Gymnasium.
“I thought we played really strong,” Richardson said. “We were going after balls, communicating and giving 100 percent effort. Sometimes you play well and things just don’t go your way on the scoreboard. That’s what happened to us last night.
“I was proud of the girls and their effort. If we had played like that against Ava and some of our other games, we probably would have won. We’ve got to play like that every single night.”
Kennedy Campbell led HHS (3-15, 0-4 South Central Association) with seven kills. Tara Stanton had four.
