Jefferson defeats Tallulah Falls, East Jackson

Now the team can enjoy a breather before hitting the court again next Tuesday, as they play host to Apalachee and Monroe area in Jefferson. Matches are scheduled to get underway at 5 p.m.

The Lady Dragons started off last week on a downer, extending a two-game losing streak to four games with losses to Apalachee and Winder-Barrow. Against Apalachee, Jefferson lost 0-2 in sets of 19-25 and 25-27.

Winder-Barrow also won 0-2, with sets of 18-25 and 21-25.

But Jefferson’s fortunes turned on Thursday with a commanding victory over Tallulah Falls, winning 2-0 with set scores of 25-14 and 25-15.

Next up was East Jackson, who Jefferson defeated handily 2-0, with set scores of 25-11 and 25-15.

It was the second victory of the year for the Lady Dragons over the Lady Eagles, after defeating them previously on Sept. 9 by a 2-0 score.

“We had a great opportunity to play some of our younger players and get some valuable experience for our bench for the upcoming tournament, said coach Michael Paul.
