The CHS Volleyball huddles up on Wednesday at Eagleville(Photo provided)
The CHS volleyball team continued their preseason tune-up work as they traveled to Eagleville on Wednesday to compete in a preseason tournament. Coach Andrew Taylor called it a “very productive day.” The team finished first in their pool with a 2 and 1 record. A bad service game contributed to the lone blemish on the day.
In the first match, the Lady Raiders won the best 2 out of 3 match in straight sets 25 to 22 and 25 to 22 over the host Lady Eagles of Eagleville. In the second match, Lawrence County, who was a late replacement for Loretto, took advantage of 12 services errors to sweep Coffee County by a pair of 25 to 23 scores. In the final match, the Lady Raiders blasted Grundy County 25 to 16 and 25 to 5.
Coach Taylor was complimentary of the play of 3 of his seniors as Rachel Henley, Bailey Morgan and Kaylee Skipper were all called out for strong play in the opening day of the tournament. Coffee County will return to Eagleville on Thursday for 3 games as they will play at 9 AM, Noon and 3 PM. The tournament concludes on Friday with a double elimination tournament bracket.
