Bonham -- Hello, District 10-3A. Meet Averi Reeves. And Raegan Shackelford, Carsyn Hemby, Brooke Aaron, Lily Wilson, Emma Bounds, Haleigh Solano, Chyrsi Hemby and Joli Kirkpatrick. Reeves had a stellar performance with a match-high 25 kills, but every Bonham Lady Warrior that stepped out onto the court contributed big plays in a 3-1 win over the Bells Lady Panthers.
It was Bonham's district opener in the newly formed District 10-3A.
Reeves knocked down nine kills in the first set as Bonham pulled away for a 25-14 win.
Bells middle blocker Isabella Smith slammed down four kills in the second set to lead her Lady Panthers to a 25-15 victory.
Smith had four more kills in the third set, but this time the Lady Warriors countered with four kills by Reeves, three tip kills by Carsyn Hemby and a pair of kills by Raegan Shackelford that propelled the Lady Warriors to a 25-20 win.
Reeves had five kills in the fourth set, Shackelford put down a pair of kills and Haleigh Solano had a timely kill from the back row to help Bonham edge Bells, 25-22, to win the match.
In addition to 25 kills by Averi Reeves, Raegan Shackelford finished with five kills, Carsyn Hemby contributed four kills, Lily Wilson and Chyrsi Hemby both had a pair of kills and Haleigh Solano put down a kill.
The Lady Warriors (1-0) will travel to Leonard on Friday, September 14, as District 10-3A action continues. Bells (1-1) will also be on the road at Howe.
