The Panthers’ Kortney Robinson and Shelby Griffin each had 8 kills and a combined 8 blocks.

“I thought we were slow starting, but we picked up the pace a little bit,” Jemison coach Leighsa Robinson said. “Right now we’re still making way too many mistakes, and we’ve got to be more consistent in order to compete.”

Robinson said that despite the team’s victory, there is still room for much improvement.

“Our goal is to improve every single set and every single match. Until we do that, I don’t think this team will be satisfied,” she said.

For CCHS, Lauren Stewart scored 6 digs, 3 kills and 3 blocks; Rachel Johnson had 3 kills and Renee Lewis made 5 blocks.

“We need to work together more as a team and fight for every point,” CCHS coach Misty Jones said.
