As of tonight, it’s official: the Girl’s varsity volleyball team are region champions. We didn’t play a game to settle it: it was a matter of whether another team lost or not. Technically, it wasn’t: our team was forced to forfeit against Woodmont because of having played too many games this season. (Apparently, that’s a rule.) If Woodmont had won tonight, they would have had the same record as Mauldin but because of the forfeit score (three sets of 25-0), they would have won because total points come into play in the event of a tie.

We’d played Woodmont earlier this year, and as with every other regional game, our girls took the game in straight sets. We would have undoubtedly done it again last Thursday were the girls not forced to forfeit, and honestly, everyone in the region probably realizes this as well: our girls are that good.

And so we’re into the playoffs, with the hope of winning the state championship in three weeks.
