Scarlett Brown, Chandra Wyllie Spark Mustang Junior High with Aces

North Nodaway's junior high volleyball rode the backs of Scarlett Brown and Chandra Wyllie to a straight set victory over South Harrison Monday night. The team effort sparked the varsity to do the same later on that night. Scarlett Brown might become one of the tallest girls ever to wear a Mustang's uniform; she is head and shoulders above everyone else. She showed a lot of versatility Monday, getting some kills, setting up teammates, and always talking on the floor. Chandra Wyllie has the same kind of competitive spirit as her older brother, Trevin, and carried the team on her shoulders the second set to help them close out the deal.

Scarlett Brown set the tone in the first set with four aces and Avary Volner added a kill as the Mustangs took an early 7-0 lead. South Harrison chipped away, but an ace by Zoey Pearson, a kill by Scarlett Brown, and an ace by Brown made it 14-5. South Harrison made another run before Brown made a great save that turned into a point when the ball dropped over the net to make it 15-9. Arianna Owens got a kill to make it 20-9.

But South Harrison made a big run at them and got to within 20-16 before Scarlett Brown got a kill to make it 21-16 and stop the bleeding. Kills by Marin Alexander and Chandra Wyllie down the stretch kept South Harrison from catching up and the Mustangs walked away with the 25-21 lead.

Kills by Scarlett Brown, Marin Alexander, and Chandra Wyllie kept South Harrison from mounting a comeback bid and the lead was at 10-5. Finally, it was Chandra Wyllie's turn to serve and nobody could figure it out as she hit nine straight balls for aces to make it 19-5 before South Harrison could finally stop the bleeding.
