Cartersville dropped their opener to Holy Innocents’ 25-16 and 25-12 but bounced back to beat the host Eagles 25-22 and 25-22. Macey Vaughn had 15 assists in the opening loss. Lauren Wenzell finished with six kills and a dozen digs. Anna Grace Brock added five kills and 10 digs. “We weren’t very sharp,” said Lady Canes head coach Dutch Cothran, “but we were coming off a pretty big break in the schedule. We had some good runs, but missed too many serves and made several blocking errors. They have a good team and I’m hoping to schedule them again next year.” In Cartersville’s win over Coosa, Vaughn distributed 24 assists while Mason Cline and Mia Nicklas provided three aces each. Wenzell contributed eight kills, eight digs, and a pair of aces. Brock finished with six kills and eight digs.
