The Belton Varsity Volleyball team made a dominant statement in their home opener, sweeping Bryan Rudder in three sets (25-11, 25-7, 25-7). Ciarian Messersmith set the tone from the service line, dishing out four aces in a single set—including three consecutive points—while anchoring the defense with nine digs. Outside hitter Kensley Wolfe delivered a breakout performance, converting 5 of 12 attack attempts alongside six digs and five aces.
