“Our girls played good tonight, along with HC,” Harlan coach Shawna Cox said. “They tied it up a couple of times, but we came back strong with our serves. Madison Middleton, Ai-yana Harriston, Courtney Cozart and Haven Saylor all had strong serves. Hannah Jones played at the net, along with Maddy Haynes and Natalee King. Whitney Couch and Emma Fisher returned a couple of good digs, as well. I’m proud of all my girls. They made my first year of coaching a great experience.”

King added four kills, one assist and one dig. Harriston had 18 digs, four aces and seven assists. Cozart added 15 digs and six assists. Haynes had four kills and three digs. Fisher and Couch added six assists each.

Bailey led in service points with seven and was followed by Turner and Paighton Freeman with five each, Minor with four, Scearse with two and Ball and Long with one each.
