The Lady Indians secured a fourth straight Sweet 16 appearance with a 3-0 win on Wednesday against visiting Aquinas in the opening round of the GHSA 1A State Tournament. #4-ranked Tallulah Falls is back to the second round for the 5th time in six years under coach Matt Heyl.
TFS won 25-13 in the opening set before back-to-back 25-19 sets to claim the match. It also marked the school’s third 30-win season (second straight).
“We got the job done, but it wasn’t our best effort,” says coach Matt Heyl. “I think we had some state tournament jitters and stiffness at times.”
Addy McCoy led the way offensively, while Ashlyn Yaskiewicz, Becca Heyl, and Skylyn Yaskiewicz all did well at the serving line.
The Lady Indians are now 30-14, and will take on the winner of the Chattooga/Mt. Vernon match in the Sweet 16, which is to be played regardless at Tallulah Falls on Saturday.
