Things can stay the same or things can change. When you play a game under the cloud of COVID-19, sometimes things will not rearrange. For the third time in a year, a volleyball match between Cienega and Marana went five sets and that is something we’ve come to expect.
Cienega beat Marana 3-2 Monday night to open of the fall season for both squads and the script played out almost exactly like it did last year when the two teams split epic matches that went the distance.
Though the result might have been similar to last year, a roster would have been handy to know the players on the court. Ashley Robinson, Kristin Piorkowski, Jaymeson Hardin, Taylor Milbourn and Olivia McFarland are no longer with the Bobcats and the Tigers graduated Grace Ehler, Ella Dotson, Kaylee Moseley, Aubrey Oldham and Emelia Stueck. Still, there were standouts ready to take the spotlight:
