TCHS Volleyball Into State Playoffs
The Toombs County High School Lady Bulldogs volleyball team had a strong night on Monday of last week, starting with a hard-fought win over Brantley County that secured their spot in the State Tournament. Despite a slow start in each set, the Lady NetDawgs battled back, showing resilience and determination to take the match in three sets (25-22, 25-23, 25- 19).
In the next round of the Area Tournament, the Bulldogs took on top ranked Savannah Christian. Toombs lost that match and went into the consolation bracket. They then dropped their match to Savannah Country Day as they now will enter the State Tournament with a record of 1114. vs. Brantley
In the first two sets, the Lady NetDawgs found themselves trailing by as many as 7 points but rallied behind strong serving performances from Elida Cruz and Emma Wright to come out on top.
