LCHS Bulldawg Alyssa Abney

Abney moves up to LCHS Varsity Squad

It looks like Las Cruces High has made a major investment in their future by moving Alyssa Abney, a freshman, to their varsity squad as their starting setter. The Bulldawgs have been battling consistency issues at the setter position over the past few seasons–Sarah Fountain stepped in last season and did a good job, but as a senior only spent one year at the helm.

Leupold is probably not looking for an immediate fix, but thinking long term with this move; I think this will pay some major dividends by the beginning of the 2012 season.

Mayfield sees changes at setter position

Looks like Cruces isn’t the only team with changes at setter-Kat Romanelli, a sophomore, has been moved into the starting position after the departure of the Trojan starter during the first week of the season.

Even though the move was forced, overall it’s probably a much better situation for the Trojans, with Allyson Lucht (senior outside) being the primary beneficiary. I think Romanelli, while making the typical mistakes a younger player makes, is feeding a more consistent ball and giving her hitters a larger variety of options.

Mayfield also lost senior outside Haley Bloomquist last week after re-aggravating a knee injury.
