So far this season the Braves are 4-1 and the Wolves are 3-4, the Alaska School Activities Association website says. Juneau-Douglas is 0-2.
The Wolves are freshly back from Juneau, where they played the Thunder Mountain Falcons over the weekend. The Wolves lost both nights of play in four sets, Sitka Coach Karen Krupa said.
“Seven out of the eight sets we played were competitive,” she said.
The matches were a good learning experience for her team, Krupa said.
“Thunder Mountain was the perfect team for us to play, at this point in the season,” she said. “Their hitters are very smart, in where they place the ball, and finding the open holes on the court. Defensively, our girls did not adjust quickly enough to their smart play, and TMHS took full advantage of that. Saturday, we did a much better job on defense.”
The Wolves know what they need to work on to be a state contender, she said.
“We need to continue to work on anticipating the hitters, but that’s something that takes time,” she said. “I have complete confidence in the girls, and I know they’ll hone that aspect of the game, by the end of the season.”
The schedule for the rest of the weekend is listed on the Local Sports Calendar, this page.
