A pair of Mulberry Grove junior volleyball players crossed a notable milestone this season as both Addy Buatte and Allyse Blankenship reached and surpassed the 500 digs threshold and did so in the same match. Blankenship, an outside hitter for the Lady Aces, had a breakout defensive year this season with 353 total digs for the season. She entered the Lady Aces final match of the season in the Regional Quarterfinals with 489 career digs and tallied 15 in the match to surpass 500 digs and now sits at 504 at the end of her third year. Buatte, a middle hitter, entered that same match against Metro East Lutheran with 498 career digs and then racked up 12 in the match to cross the 500 mark and to end the night with 241 digs on the season and sitting at 510 digs overall for her career.
