Lady Tigers split weekend matches

GRADY — The Grady Lady Bronchos rallied from two games down to edge Elida 18-25, 20-25, 25-11, 27-25, 17-15 Saturday afternoon.

It was the third match in three days for the Lady Tigers (2-1), who beat San Jon in four games on the road on Thursday and then knocked off House 25-19, 25-16, 25-20 at home on Friday.

Elida coach Darrell Chenault said Saturday’s match was a classic.

“I told the girls it’s better to play a (match) like that than (one) where you don’t get up for,” he said. “Our mental errors probably hurt us more than anything. Grady keeps the ball alive and they dink a lot.”

Elida also split its junior high matches, beating House 18-25, 26-24, 15-7 while losing to Grady 25-19, 13-25, 15-10.
