Volleyball: HCHS swept by Tigers

 RED OAK (Oct. 1) - The Harlan Community volleyball team suffered its third Hawkeye Ten sweep of the season Tuesday night but did show signs of improvement in a 16-25, 18-25, 11-25 loss at 9th-ranked (3A) Red Oak.
 The host Tigers finished with an excellent kill efficiency of .300, led by 12 kills from Chloe Johnson and 10 from Sophie Walker, and improved to 16-5 overall and 4-1 in conference play. HCHS attacked at an .074 clip and fell to 9-15 overall and 3-3 in the H-10.
 “The scores might not look like it but we played better,” said HCHS head coach Willie Baughman. “We have to get off to better starts. Red Oak is really good.”
 Baughman noted that the Cyclones switched to a 5-1 offense Tuesday, moving Macie Leinen outside and Claire Schmitz to the middle.
 “I thought it went pretty well for the first time playing in it,” Baughman added. “We saw some better tempo. We will tweak it just a little but I thought we looked better offensively.”
