HARLAN \u2014 David Halcomb\u2019s Whitley County Lady Colonels secured their season-opener by defeating Harlan County on the road, 25-23, 25-14, and 25-22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-time defending regional champs started off slow but finished strong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good win for our team on the road,\u201d Halcomb said. \u201cI consider Harlan County to be a top three team in our region and I thought they came out ready to play. We were on our heels the first set, but I was really proud of how we came back to pull it out. We had some really good moments where the girls fought together and we also learned what we need to work on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHopefully, this will be a good lesson learned that we have to come out ready to play,\u201d he added. \u201cThat falls on me and honestly, I\u2019ll take the blame for us not starting quicker. We have to get better and I\u2019m fully confident we will. This is a special team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
