LADY COLONELS SWEEP THREE SETS WITH ARMUCHEE
Cass volleyball defeated Armuchee in three straight sets Tuesday night winning 25-21, 25-11, and 25-18.
Harmony Carr finished the match with five aces. Alexis Ware totaled five aces and five kills, while Blaire Waters contributed a pair of aces and six kills.

The loss dropped Armuchee to 6-6 on the year.
Cass (2-6) hosts an Area match next Tuesday against Kell and East Paulding at 5:30 p.m.
CARTERSVILLE SWEEPS BREMEN AND VILLA RICA
The Lady Canes swept to a pair of straight set victories Tuesday night over Villa Rica and host Bremen.
Cartersville topped Bremen 25-8 and 25-13 and defeated Villa Rica 25-12 and 25-20.
“Bremen played us really close in our home match with them,” said Cartersville coach Dutch Cothran. “We needed three sets to beat them. I felt like going in (tonight), it was going to be a hard-fought battle on their court. We took control early, and never really let up. We’ve made a few personnel changes and started doing some things differently on defense, and the girls responded well. We’re not where we need to be, but I definitely feel better after our performance tonight,” noted Cothran.
Nedu Evans had 19 kills against the Blue Devils. Grace Hunter contributed 41 assists and three aces. Anna Mathis had 10 digs and three aces.
In the Canes’ win over Villa Rica, Evans had 16 kills. Hunter totaled 39 assists and Mathis was credited with eight digs and three aces.
“I was really impressed with our team effort tonight,” Cothran continued. “We were able to have fun and enjoy some success. I feel like Nedu was the most dominant I’ve seen her all year. She had a lot of back row kills, and very few back row errors. Halle Matthews also had several kills tonight, and was solid in the middle.”
Cartersville (6-9) travels to Cedartown next Tuesday to play the Bulldogs and Central-Carroll in the Lady Canes’ first region match.
