The Madison County volleyball Raiders hit the road for the first time this season on Tuesday night. The varsity Volley Raiders visited East Jackson High School and came away with a split moving their record to 2-2. Madison County played Tallulah Falls in the opening match and came up on the short end of a 0-2 score. Tallulah Falls (Region 6-A) defeated the Volley Raiders 25-22 in the first set and won the nightcap 25-15.
The Raiders rebounded to defeat the host team East Jackson (Region 6 3A) 2-0 (25-17, 25-19). This was Madison County’s second win over East Jackson in this early season.

The Volley Raider junior varsity picked up where they left off last season by sweeping Tallulah Falls 2-0 (25-17, 25-17). The junior varsity completed the sweep by downing host East Jackson 2-0 (25-7, 25-14). Both teams will face Prince Ave Christian Thursday night in Bogart.
