Volleyball: Southeastern sweeps away ‘Rocks

The Hamilton Southeastern volleyball team swept Westfield 3-0 Wednesday in an all-county and Hoosier Crossroads Conference match.

“We’re trying to get better every single day,” said Royals coach Jason Young. The coach had praise for senior Avery Hobson, who had a solid night on offense in the game.

“She’s been outstanding,” said Young. “She’s been upwards of 15 to 20 kills every single night. We depend on her and we depend on Lauren Harden every single night to carry a lot of the offensive load.”

Southeastern is 4-0 in the conference and 14-1 overall, and travels to Louisville on Saturday to play Sacred Heart Academy. The Shamrocks are 2-2 in HCC play and 8-8 overall, and host Brownsburg on Thursday.
