It was a fantastic showing by Tallulah Falls in the region-opening match at Elbert County on Tuesday. The boys earned their first shutout of the season, while the girls continued their unbeaten streak. The Indians won 5-0, while the Lady Indians secured a 4-1 victory.

“It was a great way to start region play, getting a couple of victories,” says coach Anthony Cox. “The boys got their first sweep, and the girls played really well to continue their winning ways. We also got to play at the site of our region tournament, so that was a bonus. I think we got a little better today, which is our goal every day.”

The girls are now 9-0 overall and 1-0 in region, while the boys are 3-6 overall (1-0).
