Ruston High won its second match in as many nights on Tuesday — this time down at Alexandria Senior High for the district opening contest of the season.
The Lady Bearcats won by scores of 25-18, 25-9 and 25-11.
“We played steady (Tuesday) night,” Lady Bearcat head coach Mandy Cauley said. “We did not start strong like we did Monday night, but we found our footing and ran with it. There were a few delays in the first set that were not due to anything we did on our side of the court and that caused our momentum to fluctuate, but we were rolling shortly after the holdup around point 12. I was able to utilize all members of the team so I was pleased that they all got game time experience.”
Ruston has also finalized its schedule for the 2024 Bearcat Brawl, which will be played in the Ruston Sports Complex. On Friday, Ruston will play Dunham at 5 p.m. and then follow with Sulphur at 7 p.m.
On Saturday, Ruston will face off with Notre Dame at 9 a.m. and then Barbe at 10 a.m. The Lady Bearcats will round out the Bearcat Brawl at noon that day against Westlake.
“This weekend will be tough but it’s what we train and prepare for,” Cauley said. “I believe we are ready to be challenged.”
