Scouting Royalton

A youthful but talented and determined Royalton team stands in the way between our B-B-E Jaguars volleyball team and a return trip to the Section 5A championship match. The two teams will square off in the Sub-Section 5A-South finals tomorrow night - Thursday, November 1 - at Little Falls high school. First serve is at 6 p.m., and the match will be aired on Smooth Magic 107 FM of Glenwood.

Royalton, Prairie Conference champions in 2017 and now 2018, has just one senior on the roster: 5'7" outside hitter Jenna Carlson.

In Royalton's regular-season finale against Eden Valley-Watkins, they were paced by two juniors: Cierra Gottwalt who had 29 digs in the 3-2 win while going 15-of-15 at the service line. Allyson Waletski added 14 kills and went 14-of-14 on serves.

In Royalton's 3-1 win over Browerville on October 4, the Royals were led by junior Jenna Anderson's 10 ace blocks. Juniors Emily Malikowski (16 kills) and Allyson Waletski (14 kills) led their offense.

On October 9 in Royalton's 3-1 win over Holdingford, Malikowski had nine kills and 23 digs to lead her team. Waletski went 20-for-20 at the service line with two aces.
