With just a couple of weeks left in the regular season, Trigg County finds themselves in the midst of a slump.

One night after losing to a three-win Madisonville team, Trigg County lost to Livingston Central Tuesday night for the first time ever in eight career meetings.  The Lady Cardinals improved to 3-17 with the 25-9, 25-18 win over the Lady Wildcats.

The victory was Livingston Central's first district win in the three-year history of their program.

Trigg County returns to action Tuesday at Wildcat Gym against Christian County.

Madisonville 2 Trigg County 1

Struggles in service and net play spelled doom for Trigg County, who fell to Madisonville in three games 25-17, 21-25, 19-25 Monday night at Wildcat Gym.

It marked the first time in ten games dating back to last year that Trigg won the first game of the match only to drop the last two.  They did the same thing against Crittenden County last year in Cadiz.  Trigg is now 2-5 this year in three-game matches.

"As a team tonight, we had 82 passing errors.  It is hard to beat any team with that many errors.  The girls  have to pull together and decide they want to win for each other," said Lady Wildcat head coach Rick Erickson.  "After all the gains in the Caldwell match last Thursday, it was as if a different team showed up in the last two games tonight.  We are a MUCH better team than how we played.  Tuesday is another day and another chance for us to right the ship and play like we are capable of playing."

Trigg County jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the first game only to see the Lady Maroons battle back to 13-10.  Casey Banister then served eight straight points to go ahead 21-10 and Trigg was able to hold off Madisonville 25-17.

The second game saw neither team separated by more than four points at any time.  Trigg led 13-11, but Madisonville scored eight of the next 11 points and never trailed again.

In the third game, Madisonville jumped ahead 16-7.  Trigg couldn't take advantage of four consecutive side outs as they failed to score a winner of their serves.  The Lady Wildcats pulled to within five points on two occasions -- 21-16 and 24-19 but didn't serve consistent enough to win.

Casey Banister had 7 aces, 9 assists and 2 kills.

Molly Thompson had 5 aces and 2 kills.

Morgan Parker had 4 kills and 1 block.

Kalesha Williams had 4 kills.

Caldwell County 2 Trigg County 0

Trigg County showed vast improvement over Tuesday but still came up on the short end of the stick as they fell at Caldwell County 25-23, 25-22.

"Our passing was much improved over the Crittenden match.  As good of a team as Caldwell is, we played well against them.  If we can play with the same intensity and teamwork in the rest of our matches this year as we did tonight, we will have a good chance of winning each match," said Lady Wildcat head coach Rick Erickson.  "I am very proud of the effort put in by the whole team tonight.  We ran a new offense that we had not had time to practice and hung with one of the top two teams in the region.  I think we may be starting to click at the right time of the season, this year."

"Crittenden Co. did a good job of keeping the ball alive and allowing us to make mistakes.  Too many balls hit the floor on our side that should have been passed.  Our passing has to step up in the next few weeks to be able to compete," Lady Wildcat head coach Rick Erickson said.

Trigg County won two of five games at the Caldwell County SlamFest, and their record stands at 9-11 with two huge district games looming this week.

Trigg County opened with a 21-10, 21-18 win over Hopkins Central in pool play.  The Lady Wildcats then fell to McLean County 21-91, 21-18 in a match that could have gone either way.

The Lady Wildcats beat Fort Campbell in three games 21-18, 16-21, 15-7 before falling to Calloway County 14-21, 21-15, 6-15 to just miss advancing out of pool play.

Once they advanced out of pool play, Trigg took eventual tournament champion Massac County, Ill. to three games before losing 18-21, 22-21, 8-15.

Kalesha Williams had 23 aces, 22 kills and 21 blocks.

Casey Banister had 40 assists and 7 aces.

Kelly Bradshaw had 13 kills and 9 aces.

Molly Thompson had 9 kills.

Morgan Parker had 18 blocks and 5 kills.

Massac County won the tournament with a thrilling 22-20, 21-19 win over Caldwell County in the championship game.  Caldwell had beaten Massac County 21-17, 21-18 earlier in the day and held a record of 19-3 at day's end.

Trigg County will travel to Crittenden County Tuesday and Caldwell County Thursday, needing to win both games to have a shot at the top seed in next month's district tournament.
