East Jackson’s Lady Eagles volleyball team ended last week on a high note, recording its fourth win of the season with a victory over Gainesville.
The Lady Eagles will host Rabun County at 7 p.m. Thursday.
The Lady Eagles started out last week by facing Madison County and Winder-Barrow on the road. Against Madison County, East Jackson was handed a 2-0 loss, with set scores of 25-18 and 25-19.
Next up was Winder-Barrow. After losing the first set 25-19, the Lady Eagles evened things up with a 26-24 win in the second set, but the Lady Bulldoggs dominated the third set, winning 25-9 to take the match 2-1.
“We started against Madison County and Winder-Barrow much better than I'd expected,” said coach Tim Thomas. “I honestly didn't think we'd be that close with Madison County, but that core group that we finally got healthy a couple of weeks ago continued to get more comfortable with one another and their performance was much better."
Thursday saw the Lady Eagles travel to Lakeview Academy to face Lakeview and Gainesville.
