Heritage Christian Academy were able to overcome every team except one in capturing second place at the annual Lancaster Volleyjam in Smyrna, Tenn. over the weekend.
HCA opened the double-elimination tournament with a 25-15, 23-25, 15-8 loss to Providence Christian Academy of Murfreesboro, a team that advanced to the TSSAA Division II-A region tournament last year.
In the consolation bracket, HCA battled back to beat Covenant Christian Academy of Nashville 25-13, 25-15 and Valor Christian Academy of Murfreesboro 25-16, 27-25.
In the consolation finals, the Lady Warriors beat Covenant Christian again by a score of 25-17, 25-16.
HCA took Providence Christian Academy to three sets in the championship match before falling 23-25, 25-16, 15-11.
“I was pleased with our effort and stamina to battle our way to the championship match,” HCA Associate Coach Brad Boyd said. “Playing that many matches against good competition should help us build stamina and focus.”
Heritage Christian Academy (4-2) returns to action Tuesday at Clarksville Northwest.
