Carrollton volleyball coach Daniel Campbell said West Central outworked his team.

“We came out flat footed after we have worked on things to get the girls to move their feet,” he said. “That killed us in the end against West Central. We have some big things coming up with the Beardstown Tournament on the seventh and the Jersey Tournament on the 14th of October so I am ready to get back to practice.”

Campbell said he believes if his team plays like they did in the first game against West Central, the Hawks can play with anyone. Carrollton gets a chance to get back on track at 6 p.m. Thursday at Brown County, then travel to Brussels for a 6 p.m. Monday match.
