Herbert, Cottage Grove Dominate Falcons in Volleyball

Cottage Grove senior Cassidy Herbert and her family are coy to talk about colleges that have interest in the 5-9 outside hitter.  The Elmira Lady Falcons were left with no doubt why.

Herbert lashed 33 kills and 4 aces as third ranked Cottage Grove demolished the Lady Falcons 3-0 (25-12, 25-14, 25-7) in a match that wasn't as close as the score indicated.  16 of Elmira's 33 points were the product of service faults and unforced errors.  When rallies did ensue, the Lions funneled the ball to Herbert who from all over the floor with both powerful strikes and deft placements which had the Falcons' defense reeling.

While her family won't discuss the matter, Lions' head coach Kendra Anderson confirmed that Herbert has been receiving interest both at Cottage Grove High School and in club play.  When asked if it was her best game of the season, Anderson was emphatic.

"Oh no," Anderson said.  "This is indicative of her game."

 The loss dropped the Falcon's record to 6-11.  Elmira is off until next Tuesday when they host Marshfield.
