Have a night, Harper.
The senior outside hitter for the Ruston High Lady Bearcats (2-0) finished a Thursday match on the road at Airline with an 18-kill performance on 20 attempts.
Ruston High dropped the first set 17-25, but then rallied back for three straight 25-13, 25-21, and 25-23.
“This match was a battle,” Ruston High head coach Mandy Cauley said. “I’m proud of our composure. We didn’t start strong, but we found our rhythm and fought hard to finish well.?
Harper’s performance was helped in large part to her sophomore sister Baylor and junior setter Laia Canovas, who combined for 27 assists. Baylor added nine kills, as well, while sophomore Ava Crowe added three blocks on the night.
Sophomore outside hitter Jane Ramsey finished the night with four kills on four attempts.
“I moved (Jane) to the right side,” Cauley said. “She did a great job there.”
Ruston returns to action today at the North/South Tourney in Lafayette, La.
