Volley Raiders lose to West Hall, defeat Cedar Shoals


By Dallas Bordon

The wheels on the bus went round and round again as the Volley Raiders hit the road for the seventh straight time on Thursday night. This time the stop was in Gainesville at West Hall High School home of the region 5 (3A) Spartans. The home team came away victorious defeating Madison County’s varsity 2-0 (9-25, 16-25). The varsity Raiders bounced back in the later match taking winless Cedar Shoals to three sets before claiming the 2-1 win. Cedar won the first set 25-19 but the Raiders took control taking the second set 25-20 and the third set 25-10.

The junior varsity Raiders enjoyed their time on the west side of Gainesville by coming away with the sweep in their two matches. The JV Raiders defeated West Hall 2-0 (25-9, 25-18) and left town with a 2-0 win over Cedar Shoals. The JV Raiders took the first set 25-14 and finished the sweep 25-13.

The junior varsity squad will travel to Oconee County on Saturday to take part in a “play-in” tournament beginning at 10:30 am.

Madison County will return home for just the second time this season on September 17 facing Johnson and Walnut Grove beginning at 5:00. The Raiders will remain home for a match on the following night versus Prince Avenue at 6:00.
