Hawks block Fuquay's attempts at victory

By J. Mike Blake, Sports Editor

HOLLY SPRINGS - When the volleyball season was still new, Holly Springs coach Jennifer Ivanoff said that she liked the potential of her tall and athletic middle blockers.

A month into the year, that potential is starting to be reached. It was evident when the Golden Hawks took on a smaller Fuquay-Varina team Thursday night in a Tri-Nine Conference showdown.

The Bengals had a hard time handling the sophomore Kaelyn Byson and junior foreign-exchange student Alessica Buttol, who combined for eight kills and 10 blocks in Holly Springs' 25-20, 25-18, 26-24 sweep.

"I was very impressed with our blocking. Blocking is usually our weaker point," Ivanoff said. "But today, our front row had it together and they weren't letting things drop, so it was nice to see them perform."
