PERRY MERIDIAN (25-9) – All defeats last year were to top-10 teams … graduation losses were 6-2 Sarah Clem, Georgetown (Ky.) College, team leader with 306 kills and 103 blocks, plus Abby Ketchum (295 digs, 260 kills) and Kristen Mitchell, 235 kills … coach Patrick Carlson reloads with seniors in 6-1 setter Riley Taylor (984 assists), an Eastern Michigan recruit, and Jenni Castoe, 140 kills … junior Heather Corbin moves to libero … frosh sensation 6-3 Caitie Baird, an outside hitter, is among nation’s best varsity newcomers … 5-4 Aly Marcum impacts back line … outside hitters include senior Elizabeth McIntrye, who returns after a year’s absence, senior Jessica Spencer and Roncalli junior transfer Hayden Cole … Falcons plan to be strong by sectional, which now includes the Rebels.
Carlson’s comments: “Our biggest loss (graduation) in experience was up front, but at one time they were inexperienced too. I like our senior leadership. Our juniors and seniors are solid, but we have a lot of young players who can help us a lot. Freshman Caitie Baird is already ranked as a top-five recruit in the nation. Our sectional is much improved and tougher with addition of Roncalli. The biggest key to our season will be the health of our players, staying away from injuries because of the demands of the game.”
