Kings Knights (16-7, 5-1) Back
to School List
Highlights 10/22/05 - The Kings Lady Knights closed out their 2005 season tonight against the Seton Saints. The Knights played well (better than the scores would indicate) but they were simply outplayed by the Saints who took the match in straight sets, 25-12, 25-14 and 25-8. The Knights held leads in all three games, but in many cases fell victim to their own mistakes. Junior middle Sarah Shipley led the Knights' offense with a number of impressive kills. Senior libero Julia Harvat brought the crowd to its feet with some terrific saves. The Knights finish the 2005 campaign at 17-7. They graduate only three seniors, so things look good for a strong returning team in 2006. 10/18/05 - The Kings Lady Knights notched their first play-off victory as a Division I team tonight against Hughes Center. The Knights, who moved up to Division I in 2005 after years in Division II, chalked up an easy, straight-set win against Hughes, 25-10, 25-7, 25-13. Kings won't have long to savor the victory, however. They're back in action Thursday night against Cincinnati powerhouse, Seton. 10/10/05 - The Kings Lady Knights played their final regular season match tonight at home against Middletown Fenwick. The Knights took Game 1 25-21 but the Falcons proved to be no push-over, coming back with a strong 25-15 Game 2 win. The lead changed hands several times in Game 3 with Kings finally coming out on top 25-23. The Knights had an easier time of it in Game 4, notching the 25-19 match victory. 10/08/05 - The Kings Lady Knights were still in a bit of a funk following their Thursday night loss to Turpin for the FAVC crown. Kings came out flat Saturday morning against host Anderson and never quite got in the match. Anderson was never in trouble, notching 25-17 and 25-13 wins. Kings' offense woke up in the second match against Princeton, coming up with a solid 25-13 Game 1 win. A line-up change seemed to throw the Knights off in Game 2, allowing Princeton to square the match with a 25-21 Game 2 victory. The Knights regained control in Game 3, coming away with the 15-11 match win.
10/04/05 - Cincinnati
Turpin pulled off a dramatic comeback to topple Kings tonight in what was, in
effect, the FAVC Buckeye Division title match. It took two games before
Turpin's block turned the tide in the match, effectively shutting down all of
Kings front line. The Spartans played some great defense too. Kings jumped out
to a 2-0 lead, 25-21, 25-18, but Turpin then reeled off three straight wins,
25-19, 25-22, 15-11 for the Kings finishes at 5-1 in FAVC. Turpin is 5-0 and, even if they lose their final conference match to Norwood, will still claim the title due to tonight's victory. 10/03/05 - Monday night was Senior Night for the Kings Lady Knights as they hosted the Milford Eagles.
