This is not the most pleasant of times for the Lawrence Central
athletic department. Construction delays have played havoc with the
availability of athletic facilities at the school. The football team had to
play rival Lawrence North at Franklin Central last Friday, a game they won
17-0. The volleyball team is also playing off campus at a nearby independent
facility and Tuesday evening their results were not so positive. Visiting Perry
Meridian swept the Bears in three games, 25-14, 25-11, and 25-16.
For the Falcons it was an extension of what has been a quick
start under new coach Pat Carlson. Perry Meridian moved to 3-0 on the season and
1-0 in Conference
play Coach Pat Carlson felt it was another step forward in the Falcons
development. They easily controlled the first two games but struggled a bit in
the third against a spirited Bears effort. Carlson was actually pleased with
the way his team handled things not going well during that stretch. They kept
their composure and eventually pulled away.
The star for Perry Meridian on this night was junior Shelby
Gray. She had 12 kills and 15 digs in the three games. Hoosier Authority spoke
to both Gray and Coach Carlson after the match. Player and coach were in agreement
that the transition to a new coach and system is going well. Click on the video
