New Palestine High School

Senior Samantha Gooding broke an eight-year-old record Wednesday as the New Palestine volleyball team swept Triton Central 25-19, 25-14, 25-17. Gooding tallied 43 assists to bring her career total to 2,735 - eclipsing Kara Morris' mark of 2,696. Morris set the record in 2017. It didn't take her long to set the record, as she had assists on five of the Dragons' first seven points, and continued to feed the NP hitters. Natalie Sevier tallied 16 kills and nine digs to lead the Dragons. Caylee Brown added 14 kills and Hayden Ramsey 10. Cara Steele tallied seven. Kennedy Armstrong had 14 digs. Azure Flagle had 10, Adelynn Crispin six and Beth Comer four. The Dragons improved to 19-3 on the season. They continue an eight-matches-in-six-days stretch Thursday at Connersville.
