Lady Wildcats swept by Patton

 Valdese- The Draughn volleyball team held their first home game Thursday hosting county rival Patton.

The Lady Panthers, led by returning NWFAC player of the year Ella Gragg, dominated in a three-set sweep despite many efforts by the Lady Wildcats (0-2 NWFAC).

Draughn built early leads of 3-2 and 4-3 in the opening set off Patton errors before the Lady Panthers scored five consecutive points.

Maddison Powell (kill) recorded a couple points for the Lady Wildcats with Haygen Sigmon registering a block.

Patton dominated the majority of set two despite Georgia Goulding blocking a Lady Panther return.

Bailey Bryant (2) and Powell each added a kill in the final set of play getting Patton's lead down to as low as four points.

Gragg led the way for the Lady Panthers with 11 kills and three serving aces.

The Lady Wildcats picked up the three-set win in the JV game to start 2-0.

Draughn is back in action next Monday at Bunker Hill.
