Shelby volleyball piles up the aces in win over Holton

Shelby had no trouble with Holton Tuesday in a West Michigan Conference Rivers match, rolling to a 25-7, 25-17, 25-15 win.
The Tigers (10-14, 4-1 WMC Rivers) were overwhelming at the service line, especially Hali Hayes, who racked up 11 aces. Briar Peters and Charlee Friedman each had five.
"Hali Hayes had a great performance all around," Shelby coach McKenna Peters said. "We have moved her around in many different positions this year and she has done a really great job in that role for us. She played middle and outside and was efficient in both spots with an overall hitting percentage of .241."
Peyton Rapes helped the Tiger offense along with 23 assists. Kylie Brown had a team-best eight kills, and on defense, Ariana Garza posted 15 digs.
"This was our first game in 11 days," coach Peters said. "It was great to have a full week of practice to slow things down and focus on specific things, but we were excited to finally play someone else."
