We came out a little flat and our serving was off some, but regrouped and played much better the second set. I\u2019m proud of our girls and looking forward to the next one and getting to compete for a 50th District Championship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">After holding off Williamsburg in a competitive opening set, Whitley County took control with a convincing 25-12 victory in the second frame before closing out the match with a 25-16 win in the third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
