Spartanburg Christian Academy’s volleyball team is hanging another banner.
The Warriors won their sixth straight SCISA 2A state volleyball title on Tuesday, taking a 3-2 victory over Northside Christian in a game played at Columbia’s Cardinal Newman School. The win was the Warriors 13th title in program history. To earn it, they had to battle. Northside Christian took a 25-22 win in game one, and pushed the Warriors to the brink with a 25-20 win in game three for a 2-1 lead. However, SCA rallied for a 25-22 win in the fourth, and closed out the match with a 15-5 victory in the deciding fifth game. “The first four sets were very back-and-forth,” Spartanburg Christian coach Tinsley Fain said. “Each team would get a huge lead, and the other team would battle their way back into the match every time. We battled to win the fourth and force a fifth set, and in the fifth we took over and finished.” Spartanburg Christian got strong performances all over the court, with senior setter Holly Hines, junior outside Brantlie Price, junior middle Malone Moore, and freshman right side Addy Crisp coming up big for the Warriors. Fain said that each title is special to the program. “I can’t really describe how it feels,” she said. “I’m so proud of these girls and everything they’ve fought for this year. It’s a great feeling, and it’s always a new experience. It never gets old. I don’t think it ever could.” -Jed Blackwell |
