Volleyball: Lady Eagles Fall In Tourney

After a huge victory over Austin-East, the Cosby Lady Eagles fell to Knox
Gibbs in opening round action at the District 3-A/AA Volleyball Tournament
at Knox Carter Wednesday, bringing their season to a close. The youthful
Lady Eagles needed four sets to dispatch the Lady Roadrunners in the first
match of the first round Wednesday. The Lady Eagles started off taking the
first two sets, 25-22, 25-11. But, the Lady Roadrunners came back to take
set three, 18-25. The Lady Eagles rebounded, however, to take the fourth
set, 25-22, and the match 3-1, advancing to take on Gibbs. It was not to be
for the Lady Eagles, however, as Gibbs swept in three sets, 25-17, 25-8,
25-8. Cosby’s lone senior, Megan Tinker , playing her final match in
a Cosby volleyball uniform, led the Lady Eagles in the opening match with 10
aces, 8 kills and 7 digs, and had 1 block, 3 kills and 3 digs in the final
match. Maddie Hall had 1 kill, 2 digs and 2 assists for the Lady Eagles in
the final match against Gibbs.
Volleyball: Lady Red Falls In Tourney

It wasn’t because of a lack of effort. And, they certainly played with a lot
of heart. But, it was not to be for the Cocke County Lady Red volleyball
squad as the District 2-AAA Tournament shifted to Jefferson County High
School on Wednesday. The Lady Red, with just seven players in uniform,
went up against the Lady Patriots, and gave it their best fight. Jefferson
County took the first two sets, 25-19, 25-19, and looked set to make a quick
advance to the semifinals. But, the Lady Red fought back in the third set.
The Lady Red’s lone senior, Courtney Lewis, reeled off ten unanswered points
to take the set 25-19. During the 10-point stretch, Lewis had two aces while
Kara Morgan added two kills. The fight was still there in set No. 4 as the
Lady Red tried to send the match to a tie-breaker. The Lady Patriots built a
15-8 lead, but the Lady Red managed to pull within four, 20-16. That was a
close as the Lady Red would get, however, as the Lady Patriots pulled away
for a 25-16 victory, and 3-1 match victory, ending the Lady Red’s season.
Lewis ended her Cocke County volleyball career with 16 kills and 3 aces.
All seven of these girls played extremely hard, said Lady Red head coach
E.L. Biddle. They played excellent volleyball, and they played with a lot
of effort. We missed the contributions of Tracy (Laymen), who is sick and
couldn’t be with us tonight. But, I am so very proud of each and every one
of these ladies.
