The Tallulah Falls School MS volleyball teams, both playing in their 2021 home openers, were successful in taking down visiting Rabun County in straight-set fashion.
The A-Team took a 25-13 opening set and secured the match with a 25-8 win in the second set. Meanwhile, the B-Team won 25-15 and 25-18 to also win in straight sets over the visitors.
“Both teams persevered through some uncharacteristic sluggish play in the opening sets,” says coach Tim Corbett. “Most importantly, when the dust settled, it was clear that both teams reversed the early trend and took strides toward improving both individually and collectively.”
Rebecca Heyl led the team from the outside hitter position for the A-Team with a ton of kills both at the net and from the backcourt. In addition, she sealed the second set with ten consecutive serves, many of which were aces.
“LB Kafsky paced the B Team and may have shown the most improvement in the process,” says coach Hannah Satterfield. “She demonstrated substantial improvement in all phases of the game: serves, digs, kills, passing, you name it.”
The A-Team is 2-0 on the season, as is the B-Team. The Lady Indians travel to West Oak (Westminster SC) for a tournament Saturday involving roughly twelve teams.
