The 2017 ECHS volleyball season is rolling and the Lady Buffalos are in full stride.

Coach Bryson and her girls hosted the OCH Eagles on Sept. 5; winning in two – 25-18 and 25-20. The two teams would meet again in 48 hours; the Lady Buffalos traveled to Overland Park, KS, on Sept. 7 with tri-matches beginning at 3:30 pm.

The Buffalos were poised and ready, #14 Kiely Messick opened-up the first game against OCH with eight serves, four of them aces. The girls went on beat the Eagles in two – 25-11 and 25-11.

The following match was South Park Christian School vs. ECHS Buffalos. The Buffalos, coming off a win, ended the match in two; 25-18 and 25-9. With a two-day rest, the Lady Buffalos traveled to Christian Learning Center in Ft. Scott to play a tri-match against the CLC Mustangs and Show-Me Angles.

CLC and the Lady Buffalos played a hard first game, each team was strong at the net and again, serves from Kiely Messick chocked up some points for ECHS, In the end, the final score was 25-22, CLC; 2nd game, 25-19, CLC. The Buffalos took an eight-minute break and Coach Bryson encouraged her girls to prepare for the upcoming match against Show-Me. The Angels started out quick and set a face pace for the Lady Buffalos, ECHS answered with big blocks from Lexi Buttorff and Hailey Krehbiel, great sets from Isabelle Bryson and Kiely Messick and beautiful back row digs from Abigail Reasoner. The match ended with a Buffalo win in two – 25-20, and 25-12.

The evening with our conference tri-match teams ended on a great note. The CLC Mustangs and their Coach Mrs. Shanna Stanton hosted a potato bar dinner and dessert for the Lady Buffalos and Show-Me Angels. The Christian fellowship shared between the teams was amazing. Playing volleyball and building great Christian friendships made for a great night.
