The Dub-Dub: October 1-7

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another week of high-end performances across the state. This week's Dub-Dub!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Central High out of St. Joseph may be young, but the Trojans are starting to find their rhythm. They dug deep for a win over Oak Park, fueled by a pair of double-doubles. Outside hitter [player_tooltip player_id='805616' first='Greely' last='Simpson'] was the offensive spark plug, hammering down 15 kills while digging 11 balls on defense. Senior setter Hayden Root kept the offense humming, dishing out 22 assists and matching Simpson with 11 digs in a strong all-around performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over at Nerinx Hall, Alaina Collins ran the show with a 20-assist, 10-dig double-double, setting the tempo and keeping her hitters in system throughout the night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kearney also turned in a pair of standout stat lines in their four-set victory. Setter Bella Au-Mu was dealing, handing out 40 assists while adding 11 digs of her own. On the outside, [player_tooltip player_id='222062' first='Madison' last='Browning'] was unstoppable, blasting 16 kills and picking up 17 digs to complete her double-double.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For St. Pius X, [player_tooltip player_id='221231' first='Elena' last='Ruble'] put on a clinic with the ball and in the back row, recording 30 assists and 15 digs to lead her team past St. Vincent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quietly climbing the ranks this season is Raymore-Peculiar, and the duo of [player_tooltip player_id='807851' first='Ashlynn' last='Wilkowski'] and Addie Findley is a big reason why. In a sweep of Lee's Summit, Wilkowski racked up 16 kills and 14 digs, while Findley added 10 kills and 11 digs, showing off the team's balance and firepower.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Savannah is gearing up for the Benton Tournament this weekend, and they'll look for another strong showing from setter Reece Gould, who notched 27 assists and 15 digs in a sweep of Maryville, a true floor general performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kirksville's [player_tooltip player_id='809824' first='Olivia' last='Boyer'] turned heads at the pin, racking up 13 kills and 14 digs, showcasing her two-way impact as both a terminator and defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fatima's Alayana Backes stood tall in a sweep of Blair Oaks, leading the way with 10 kills and 11 digs, proving she can dominate on both offense and defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>And perhaps the most unique double-double of the week came from Advance's [player_tooltip player_id='475335' first='Olivia' last='Kennedy'] — 13 kills and 10 aces. That's right, 10 aces. Her serve was simply untouchable.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rounding things out, Jefferson's Halayna Loyd did work as the floor commander, tossing up 22 assists and digging 12 balls in a rock-solid effort that kept her team rolling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
