It wasn’t going to be easy. The Helias Lady Crusaders were taking on the Warrenton Warriors in the title game of the Class 4 District 5 Tournament on Monday night at Jefferson City High School in a meeting of two teams that advanced to the Class 4 Final Four last season.
WARRENTON The Fulton Hornets snapped their three-match losing streak, winning 3-0 (25-18, 25-15, 25-19) against the Warrenton Warriors Monday at Warrenton High School.
The start was anything but slow. “One of our biggest problems last year was we weren’t really clicking, high-intensity, focused during warmup,” Capital City coach Travis Cairer said Monday night after the Lady Cavaliers scored four times in the first eight-plus minutes in a 7-2 victory against the Warrenton Warriors at Capital City High School. “That led to a lot of slow and sluggish starts, so we’ve been harping about coming out of the gate firing. We don’t want to be put back on our heels early, that happened too much last year.”
