The LINK nky Team of the Week for Oct. 16-22 presented by Ortho Cincy is the Scott volleyball team.
The Eagles collected nearly 1,000 votes and pulled away from the competition. Scott collected 75% of the vote to earn the recognition.
Earning Scott volleyball Team of the Week honors was their performance in the 37th District Tournament, winning their first district title since 2020.
SCOTT VOLLEYBALL
The ‘small but mighty’ motto helped the Scott volleyball team prevail for a 37th District championship on Oct. 19, their first since 2020.
The Eagles knocked off No. 1 seed Campbell County, 3-2 (25-17, 25-22, 20-25, 18-25, 15-13) at Bishop Brossart High School.
The Eagles followed up the district title with a trip to the 10th Region championship game, Campbell County getting revenge in that one as the two played yet another five-set thriller. Scott earned victories over Bourbon County in five sets and Bracken County in three sets, despite being shorthanded due to injuries. They finished their season with a 24-16 record.
Last week, Sophomore Milyn Minor was named the KVCA 10th Region Player of the Year. The Eagles had a fairly young team with just one senior on the roster in Brooke Balsley. They’ll return quite a bit from the rotation that includes Minor, Elise Manhardt, Morgan Justice, Brooklyn Helm, Ryann Grigsby and Payton Grigsby.
Congratulations to our other nominees as well: Ludlow football, Bishop Brossart boys cross country, Ryle girls cross country.
