F-F H.S. Highlights Sept. 22


Chambersburg girls volleyball coach Ty Frelin was concerned about how his team would fare this week with a packed schedule coming off a tournament win last Saturday.

The Trojans came through with flying colors, winning all three matches, including a 3-2 Mid Penn Commonwealth Division verdict over Cumberland Valley on Thursday night. It took five games to do it, with the Trojans taking the Eagles down in the fifth, 15-11.

Frelin said, "I'm just so proud of my girls because they hung in there. This was a long week after the tournament - we played away on Monday (3-0 win over Mifflin County), away on Tuesday (3-0 win over Cedar Cliff), they had the Homecoming parade and powder puff football on Wednesday, and then we played away tonight.

"It's hard to beat CV any time, but especially up there. It was fun."

Chambersburg (5-2, 4-2 MPC) won the first set 25-21, and romped in the third, 25-13. In between, Cumberland Valley won the second and third, both times leading 24-21 only to have the Trojans crawl back to tie it 24-24, then win them 26-24.

Frelin said, "CV made a couple of nice plays to win that fourth set, but the girls showed a lot of resilience to win the fifth after a couple of tough (game) losses."

Lauren Ching had a big game for Chambersburg, with nine kills, 19 digs, 37 assists, six aces and four blocks.

Bailee Nitterhouse also had nine kills, and Ally Davis and Haylee Holsopple each had eight. Danessa Martin came up with 31 digs, Nitterhouse had 16, and Jenna Lombardozzi had 14 digs and eight aces.

"We served well and played great defense," Frelin said. "I had told the girls they shouldn't go up there hoping to win, they should be expecting to win. I think it helped, because they played really aggressive. It was nice to see."

BOYS SOCCER

Chambersburg 6, Red Land 0: The Trojans did not score in their first two matches of the season, but in the six since then, they have scored 22 goals and have not lost in those six games.

Chuy Munoz had not scored in the first seven games, but he pumped in three goals in the win over the Patriots. Rene Quintanilla, Rylee Reed and Cameron Dale also found the net, and assists came from Nathan Maynard, Connor Gniewek, Voctor Canel, Yohan Sebastien and Dale.

"We started out a little sloppy, but we picked up the energy and played better," Trojan coach Corey Grove said. "Rene and Nathan in the middle got the energy and everybody else followed suit.

"The last three goals (two by Munoz and one by Dale) were really beautiful, some of the best we've scored this year."

Goalkeeper Jacob Dougal recorded seven saves for a shutout for Chambersburg (5-2-1 (4-2 MPC).

Shippensburg 1, James Buchanan 0, 2OT: It took until the 91st minute, but Shippensburg’s Jacob Cox finally found the back of the cage for a double-overtime victory over James Buchanan in Mid Penn Colonial Division action. Samuel Orseno was credited with the assist for Ship (3-7, 2-4 MPC).

James Buchanan 2, Shippensburg 1, 2 OT: Aspen Anderson headed in the game-winner off a corner kick by Sydney Benedick to lift JB over the Lady Hounds with just under three minutes left in the second overtime.

"It was a great goal," Rockets coach Terry Appleby said. "Syd sent it to the far past and Apsen headed it in. We've not been playing bad at all, but we've been struggling to put the ball in the net."

Mick Heinbaugh scored in the 63rd minutes for JB (3-6, 2-4 MPC), while Kara Newell tied it up for Ship (4-7, 2-4 MPC).

Ship coach Mary Miller said, "We played a hard-fought game and worked extremely hard."
