The

McIntosh High School volleyball team is hurting a little

bit, literally. Co-Captain Heather Dockstader and setter

Vanessa Contreras are both still out and Kara Nessing,

another setter, is out three to four weeks with a

fractured wrist.

Somehow,

though, the Chiefs keep finding ways to win.

Two of

those ways are Kelly and Katie Powers. Last week,

Mcintosh had a meet with Newnan and Stockbridge. The Lady

Chiefs defeated Newnan in three sets, 15-9, 10-15, 15-4.

The Powers girls combined for 15 points in the Newnan

match. Kathryn Murphy, filling the setter position,

scored 12 and Stacey Quinn added five points.

That

quartet played well in the match against Stockbridge,

clobbering the Tigers in two sets, 15-1, 15-2. Katie

Powers scored 12 points, Kelly Powers added four points,

and Murphy and Quinn combined for eight points.

While

McIntosh continues to do well, players certainly hope

their injured players will return to the squad soon. The

competition does not get easier for them and the playoffs

seem to be right around the corner.

McIntosh

faced the Fayette County Tigers and Douglas High School

in a meet at Fayette County yesterday and will travel to

the Cobb County Tournament this Thursday and Saturday.
