Fisher Catholic overtakes Kidron Central Christian with big comeback October 15, 2007 By Jim Jicha Mid-State League Cardinal champion Fisher Catholic (14-0) headed north Saturday to take on 18th ranked Kidron Central Christian Saturday. The Irish rallied big time to defeat their hosts 17-25, 18-25, 25-18, 25-21, 16-14. Central rebounded over Shekinah Christian 25-14, 25-15, 25-10 in the nightcap of what was to have been a tri-match. Fisher could not play Shekinah, having reached their season limit of 22 matches. That was too bad for Central who would have beaten both teams in best of three matches. Junior hitters Kara Meyer and Hannah Haver paced Central to wins in the first two sets of the opening match, and to a 15-12 game three lead. But after Fisher Catholic junior Andrea Essman spiked a kill down the line, setter Blair Browning served up ten points including two aces. Katie Helm led the romp with two kills and a block. She also scored the game winner off a nice set to the right by Browning. With game four tied at 15, Helm started a 5-point Irish rally that was served by Sarah Krauss. Freshman Tessa Carpenter ended a three point Irish rally with a kill to keep Fisher up 23-19, and Essman and Krauss scored the final two points.. Central jumped in front 6-1 in the tiebreaker on two aces by sophomore setter Sandy Mullet, and two kills from Katie Kacere. But Helm spiked a kill and served four points for an 8-all tie. Central went back on top 9-8, 11-9 and 12-10 on kills by Heidi Wiebe, Meyer, Haver and Whitney Wenger. Fisher Catholic grabbed its first lead at 13-12 on a spike by Helm after sophomore Sarah Rowe dug a partial block, and Helm kept the Irish a step ahead with points 14 and 15. The match ended when a Central hitter tried to smoke an Irish overpass, and hit it out of bounds. Sheikinah, led by kills from junior Kara Yutzy and blocking and spiking of Linette Shetler, kept the first two sets close much of the way. In each game the Flames were behind 17-14. Haver smashed a short set by Mullet that started a rally to the end in game one as freshman Elise Ramseyer served out, scoring an ace in the process. Meyer started an 8-1 run to the finish in game two. Ramseyer served the final four points of that one, accumulating two more aces. The final set was all Central as the Comets raced to leads of 4-0, 10-3 and 17-5. Ramseyer served another duet of aces and Haver terminated a volley, blocked to end another, and served two aces of her own to balloon the lead to 24-8. Soon after, Meyer blasted a cross court kill for the win.
