Central triumphs over Mott despite lackluster effort

 Walled Lake Central took care of business in its only match of the week as it defeated Waterford Mott in four games, 25-23, 25-13, 22-25, 25-21.

“We got the win. However, this was not our best effort by far. Our team has all of the components to be a very good competitive team, yet we still are not playing consistently at a high level,” Central Head Coach Cathy Johnson said.

“We have to be more mentally tough. I’m very happy to get this win. However, as we enter October and work towards districts, we are going to have to pick up our effort and intensity level so that we play our best ball going forward.”

Katie Lusk had 14 kills and 5 aces to lead Central while Mikaela Beck had 11 kills and Colleen Starrs had 31 digs.

Central moves to 19-8 overall and 4-2 in the Kensington Lakes Activities Association (KLAA) North Division.

The Vikings hosted Waterford Kettering on Tuesday, Oct. 4 after press time and will play at Walled Lake Northern tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 5.
