The volley Panthers had trouble getting their serves over the net this past Thursday in a trip to Tallulah Falls and fell to 5-4 on the season.
Jackson County lost in a rare best-of-five match to the host Indians 25-22, 25-18, 19-25, 25-19. The Panthers (5-4, 2-1) missed 13 serves in the setback.
“We were just making a whole lot of mistakes ourselves,” coach Crystal Colley said.
The teams were allowed to play a best-of-five format because Jackson County and Tallulah Falls were the only teams on the floor. Volleyball events usually have three or more teams.
Jasmine Williams led Jackson County with 10 points off serves. She also had three aces.
Rachel Smith had eight kills, while both Samantha Kennett and Naly Thao each had five assists.
The Panthers returned to the court Tuesday night for matches against Winder-Barow and Salem in Winder.
Jackson County plays East Jackson and Athens Christian Thursday at East Jackson.
