However, after a dominant sweep of Portsmouth West in a Division V district final on Saturday, Oct. 31, it’s safe to say that the obstacle has been scaled. “In the end, the adversity that we’ve had made us a better team,” Zane Trace coach Ashton Ward said. “We have a deep bench now, and anyone can go in at any time. It made the girls talk more and get used to each other, but it’s really just a testament to our girls. They’ve gone through a lot, and they’ve worked really hard. They knew what they wanted, and they went for it.” RELATED: Adena rallies past Westfall to win program's 40th district crown The 25-15, 25-14, 25-17 win came behind a stellar showing at the service line and an impressive individual performance from junior Karlee Snavely.
