This week started the annual Cumberland District Volleyball Tournament for the Lady Raiders who faced off against the Lady Titans. The game began in the first set as Tia Bates, sophomore and setter, set Kacie Culbertson, sophomore and middle hitter, up with the most kills on the team followed by Cheyenne Shepherd, sophomore and middle hitter also. The final score for the first set was 23-25, Burton.
In the second set, the Raiders came together, communicated more, and became even more aggressive against the Titans, beating Twin Springs 12-25. The Titans had a tight defense in the beginning, but by this time, they had started to wear down and became tired as they felt a little defeated. Although there was cheer and hope among them, fans could tell that their spirits were a little low.
In the third and final set, Burton obliterated Twin Springs, 14-25 with a few good hits, good serves all around, and good communication from everyone. The Lady Raiders play Wednesday against Eastside at Rye Cove for a chance at 2nd place. Then if won, they play Rye Cove for first place at Rye Cove.
Come out and support our volleyball team Wednesday, November 4th!
