Oct. 21—LAKE CITY — On back-to-back nights, a battalion of Trojans picked up a sweet sweeping victory on senior night.

Wednesday, the Traverse City Central Trojans swept Alpena 3-0 as they celebrated their upperclassmen. On Thursday, it was Lake City's turn.

The Trojans, a Division 3 honorable mention in the latest Michigan High School Athletic Association rankings, honored their six seniors — Kaylee Keenan, Kasey Keenan, Haylee Parniske, Emily Urie, Jenna Harris and Helen Brown — with a 25-16, 25-14, 25-10 victory over visiting East Jordan in Lake City's final home game of the 2022 campaign.

"These girls have been with me since freshman year, so it was a very emotional night for all," Lake City head coach Amber Vanderstow said. "I am so proud of all these seniors have accomplished as players and for this program."

The half dozen seniors started and played the entire first game together, picking up the win in the process. Vanderstow put out a new lineup in sets two and three, and the head coach said they began serving stronger against the Red Devils.

The Trojans got contributions from Kaylee Keenan (17 digs, 6/6 serving, 1 ace), Kasey Keenan (3 kills, 1 ace), Haylee Parniske (7 kills, 10 digs, 5 aces), Jenna Harris (8 digs, 3 aces, 2 kills), Emily Urie (5 kills, 1 block, 2 aces, 10 digs), and Helen Brown (3 kills, 16 digs).

The Trojans play in their last regular-season tournament when they visit Williamston on Saturday.
