County schools didn’t enjoy the same level of success at the Traverse City West Volleyball Invitational Saturday as they have in previous years.

Glen Lake, Leland and Suttons Bay varsity volleyball teams all battled throughout the day, with Leland and Suttons Bay making it to the semifinal round. The host Titans and Traverse City Central knocked off county opponents, with T-C West beating Leland 25-17, 25-18, and the Trojans downing the Norsemen 25-15, 25-22, for an all-Traverse City teams final. West defeated Central 25-19, 25-19 to win the tournament.

In previous years, Leland and Suttons Bay won the tournament.

Suttons Bay starting the day by beating T-C Central, Glen Lake 25-10, 25-12, Cedar Springs and Leland in pool play, but lost to T-C West 25-21, 25-19. That set up the Norse for their showdown with T-C Central in the semis.

For the day senior Anna Pryor had 108 assists, 14 kills, 14 digs to lead Suttons Bay. Maggie Walters had 62 kills, 10 digs, blocks, Crystal Dittrich served 40-for-40 with 33 digs; Charlotte Stowe had 27 kills, 26 digs; Fran Belanger had 19 digs, 8 kills, 6 blocks; Kelly Kerr had 21 kills; Arianna Guillen 26 digs, 7 aces; Emily Send had 12 kills; and Hilde Forton had 10 assists.

Glen Lake coach Sue Flowers categorized Glen Lake’s day at T-C West as a learning experience. The Lakers are still looking for their first match win of the season. Glen Lake lost to Suttons Bay, T-C Central 25-20, 25-14, Cedar Springs 25-14, 25-19, T-C West 25-5, 25-13, and Leland 25-14, 25-18.

“The girls really did play well and got better as the day wore on. I’m seeing improvement in each game,” Flowers said.

Dani Frost had 16 kills, 1 block; Leaha Carey had 13 kills, 12 digs; Rachelle Brzezinski had 9 kills, 15 digs; Gabe Zeits had 5 kills, 11 digs; and Heather Flowers had 39 assists.

Leland lost to T-C West 25-21, 25-10; split with Cedar Springs 25-23, 23-25; lost to Suttons Bay 25-17, 25-16; and split with T-C Central 18-25, 25-23 before beating Glen Lake.

Coach Angie Shinos said getting the split against T-C Central, after losing to them earlier this year at the Trojans’ tournament, was a good boost for her team.
