ALEXANDRIA — Alexandria swept a trimatch with Donoho and Weaver at home Thursday, and Donoho topped Weaver in the other match in Larry R. Ginn Gymnasium.
A look at their performances and seasons, to date, for all three teams:
ALEXANDRIA: Coming off splitting a trimatch with Oxford and Pell City on Tuesday, the Valley Cubs (21-11) beat Donoho 25-3, 25-9 and Weaver 25-8, 25-11.
It’s another step in trying to find the right mix, said Alexandria coach Whitney Welch, who adapted her offense from a 5-1 to a 6-2 setup then returned to a 5-1.
“We played cleaner tonight,” Alexandria coach Whitney Welch said. “We had a really good match against Oxford (lost ), but we’ve got to play better. We’ve got to play cleaner, but we played pretty clean tonight.”
Alexandria’s statistics for the night:
— Lanaijia Redwine: one kills.
— Kate Wheeler: eight kills, one block, two digs.
— Cali Hess: 29 assists, six digs, four aces, three kills
— Landry Patterson: 11 digs, one assist, three aces.

DONOHO: The Falcons (7-5) lost to Alexandria 3-25, 9-25 and beat Weaver 25-18, 25-11.
Donoho played without hitter Harper Draper, who missed Thursday’s matches with an illness.
“Rough start,” first-year Donoho coach Kylie Smith said. “We were running a little bit differently and just didn’t adjust well and got exposed in some things, but we bounced back strong in the second match.”

“We’re playing a lot tougher competition,” first-year Weaver coach Amanda Noah said. “I don’t know the last time we played Alexandria, but that’s the best team we’ve played all year. We just haven’t played at that speed.
“I do think we’re progressing. We’re having to work half of the players we had last year, and half of them are new players. We’re trying to figure out a rotation that works.”
