Arlee finding success late in season
PABLO — Things are falling into place for the Arlee volleyball team.
After a 25-19, 25-18, 25-20 win against Two Eagle River, the Scarlets beat Noxon in four, 25-14, 15-25, 25-14, 25-13.
“The girls are finally coming along,” head coach Brian Bigsam said. “Things are clicking.”
Against Noxon, Bigsam said everyone was moving their feet and going after every ball.
“Looking down the statistics sheet, they all contributed,” he said.
Sophomore setter Cortney Dix led with 18 assists and five blocks.
Arlee faced Mission on Tuesday night. Scores were unavailable at press time.
The Scarlets were excited to play Mission again. The last two times the teams have met, Arlee has won the game in the fifth set after being labeld as the underdog.
Dix has told Bigsam she’s excited and ready for the rematch.
“They want it,” Bigsam said. “They love the intensity.”
Arlee will play Lincoln on Friday night in Arlee.
