Stephens County Volleyball back in the playoffs with win over Franklin County

For the second consecutive year the Stephens County Lady Indian  volleyball team is back in the state playoffs. 

                        The Lady Indians clinched the playoffs when they won their Region 8-AAA play-in game against Franklin County here last Thursday. 

                        That victory assured SCHS a playoff berth as well as a spot in the Region 8-AAA tournament. 

                        The Lady Indians defeated the Lady Lions 3-1 in the playoff clinching match.                                             In that match, SCHS won the first two sets 25-17 against Franklin County. 

                        The Lady Lions rallied in the third set to threaten the playoff hopes of Stephens County.

                        Franklin triumphed 25-21 in the third set.

                        However, the Indians secured their spot in the playoffs when they won the fourth set 25-18. 

                        After Thursday’s match SCHS was invited into the region tournament where they dropped two matches. 

                        In their first match, the Lady Indians dropped a match to Oconee County and their second match to Hart County. 

                        Those two matches resulted in the Lady Indians going into the playoffs as a No. 4 seed. 

                        The Lady Indians were scheduled to face No. 1 seed LaFayette on the road in the first round. They were eliminated by LaFayette in straight sets.
