Adairsville second at Welcome to the Jungle tourney
The Adairsville volleyball team made it all the way to the championship match of their 2021 Welcome to the Jungle Invitational, but narrowly lost in three sets to Sonoraville.
The Phoenix took the final set, 15-13.
“We showed strengths I’ve never seen before and overcame our faults to make it to the championship,” said Adairsville head coach Kailey Vaughn Martin. “This is the highest finish we have had in a tournament in my four years of coaching the team.”
The eight-team event was divided into two pools of four for round robin play with each match consisting of only two sets.
Adairsville split with Coahulla Creek by similar 25-13 margins. The Tigers then topped Hiram 25-12, 25-7 and and beat Temple 25-10, 25-7 to finish tied with the Colts atop the Green Pool standings. Adairsville then won a coin flip to take the top seed prior to bracket play. Cass finished 1-2 in the Black Pool and dropped their opening bracket play match to Coahulla Creek. The Colonels' pool losses were to eventual champ Sonoraville and Pickens, but they had a win over Southeast Whitfield 25-17, 25-21.
