The Lady Raider Volleyball Teams split up their Middle School (Monday) and JV/Varsity (Tuesday) matches with Hartfield Academy this week. The Middle School B-Team and A-Team both won their matches on Monday. The JV squad was able to make quick work of the Lady Hawks with a 2-0 victory moving their record to 12-1 on the season as they swept the season series after a three set battle in Flowood. The Varsity Lady Raiders were looking to avenge their lone conference loss to the same Lady Hawks after falling in 5 sets in Flowood earlier this season. JA did manage to beat Hartfield in the Southern Classic Tournament, which was a 2-1 (best of three sets) victory. The two teams went point for point and Hartfield had set point before JA fought it off and forced extra volleyball action. The Lady Raiders wound up pulling off a 29-27 first set victory. The Lady Hawks came right back and won the second set by winning the last four points in a row to even up the match. Then the last two sets wound up being as exciting as the first set as the Lady Raiders took the match 3-1 and avenged their lone conference loss. The B-Team season came to an end as the next action for the A-Team is the MAIS Middle School Tournament on Saturday at The Raider Dome. JV and Varsity will host Hartfield on Tuesday at 5:00pm and 6:00pm

Set Scores from each match:
JV - (25-14, 25-8)
Varsity - (29-27, 19-25, 26-24, 25-17)
