Krista Chisam had a dominant night serving Monday for the Boyd Lady Broncos.

The Boyd Lady Broncos were diving on the floor and hustling to track down the ball, but they couldn’t get past a tough Franklin Road Christian School team in volleyball action Monday night at Boyd.

Franklin Road earned a road win in straight sets, 25-19, 25-20, 25-10.

The Lady Broncos (1-2) fought with tenacity the first two sets, which could have easily gone the other way if Boyd won a few key points. Krista Chisam showed her rocket serve was difficult to return as it came across the net with velocity.

Chisam got on a roll with 6 straight service points in the first set. She opened the second set with Boyd scoring the first 7 points on her serve.

One big difference was Franklin Road’s shot accuracy. The team was skilled at finding holes in the Lady Bronco defense with short dinks over the top of potential blockers at the net and hard shots to the back that just managed to land inbounds.

Boyd gave great effort in trying to track down those shots. During one play, Sarah Woodruff was forced to travel well out of bounds to reach a ball hit by one of her teammates. She batted the ball back in play and Boyd got it over the net in 3 shots, but Franklin Road kept up the pressure and still managed to win the point.

Next up for the Lady Broncos is a Friday night home game against the Bradley Knights.

It ultimately all came down to the top of the seventh inning for Warren County baseball Thursday night.

Hosting Moore County for senior night, three late runs broke a scoreless tie and cost the Pioneers on the way to a 3-0 loss.

Scoreless through the first six innings, Warren County got the top of the seventh started with a strikeout for pitcher Evan Snapp. Moore County followed this up with a single and two walks to quickly load the bases, then proceeded to bring in a pair of runs on the following at bat. Not long after, a Warren County error allowed Moore County to add a third run before the top of the inning came to a close.

Two strikeouts and a dropped third strike in the bottom of the inning ended the game shortly after.

The result was Warren County’s second shutout defeat of the week, following Tuesday’s 19-0 road district loss to Lincoln County on Tuesday. Wednesday’s home rematch against Lincoln County was postponed due to thunderstorms in the area.

The Pioneers had two hits over the course of the game, with one each for Tyler Adams and Jerren Harris.

On the mound, Snapp pitched all seven innings and finished with six strikeouts, five hits, three runs and three walks.
