[player_tooltip player_id='389012' first='Channing' last='Johnson'] handed out 38 assists and came up with nine digs, and Alayna Akers had 13 digs. The Cyclones hit .364 in the match. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont's [player_tooltip player_id='215426' first='Molly' last='Shafer'] was named captain of the 2A all-tournament team. She recorded 88 kills and 54 digs in three matches, including 24 in the championship match. Her twin sister, [player_tooltip player_id='216055' first='Kate' last='Shafer'], dished out 114 assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class 2A
