David Halcomb\u2019s squad posted a 6-0 mark to capture the First Priority Volleyball Classic this past weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whitley County (22-3) defeated Knox Central, Breathitt County (twice), Southwestern, Somerset Christian and Shelby Valley during the classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur First Priority Volleyball Classic was another great success,\u201d Halcomb said. \u201cEveryone involved in our volleyball program puts in a lot of work to host an event like this – our coaching staff & their families, parents, custodians and administrators play a big role for us and I\u2019m thankful for all they do. We had 38 matches in a 12-hour period. I just can\u2019t say enough positive things about our girls for how they played! So pleased with their effort and attitudes all day. We are starting to see what this team is capable of when each of them are playing at a high level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGoing 6-0 on the day and beating Shelby Valley in the championship match is a big deal for our group,\u201d he added. \u201cComing in to the tournament, Shelby Valley had beaten some really good teams and ranked at the top of the 15th Region. All of our girls stepped up in a big way and wanted to win this championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs good of teams as we\u2019ve had the last few years, we weren\u2019t able to win our First Priority Volleyball Classic \u2014 this team took advantage of the opportunity and got it done,\u201d Halcomb added. \u201cCongrats to Chandra, Khylea Ray and Reagan for being selected to the all-tourney team and to Jonna for being named tournament MVP. We\u2019ll keep taking it one day at a time and improving. Go Colonels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
