After going 1-3 last week, picking up a victory over Alcovy, the East Jackson Lady Eagles volleyball team WILL face several area opponents over the coming days.
On Thursday, the Lady Eagles will host non-area Athens Christian and Jackson County in their second area match of the season.
“This will be the biggest night of the season for us so far,” said East Jackson coach Tim Thomas. “The rematch with Athens Christian will be big, because we want to prove that we’re better than we played them last week. But the bigger match is Jackson County, since they’re on our side of the area.”
Match time against Athens Christian 5 p.m., with the Jackson County match beginning at 7:00.
The Lady Eagles began last week with their first region pairing of the year against Lakeview Academy. Lakeview came away the 2-1 winner, with set scores of 25-21, 18-25 and 15-25.
That was followed by East Jackson’s first match of the season with Athens Christian. That too ended in a loss, 2-0, with set scores of 14-25 and 7-25.
On Thursday, the Lady Eagles hosted Alcovy, winning 2-0 with set scores of 25-21 and 25-17.
They followed that with a match against Gainesville, who won 2-0 with set scores of 22-25 and 23-25.
