Lady Chiefs varsity volleyball team has opened the season strong and is

undefeated in region play.

Last Thursday,

McIntosh faced several powerhouse squads.

Their first

match was against Lassiter, which jumped out to an early lead on the Lady

Chiefs. McIntosh battled back in the first game to even the score at nine

behind strong net play from Megan Bartels and Jenny Dunn. McIntosh won

the first game but came out flat in the second game and lost. The third

and final game was hotly contested, with both teams putting together long

rallies. Tied at 15, Lassiter took the final two points for the win.

The second

match was against St. Pius and McIntosh came out slow, falling behind

9-1 early. The Lady Chiefs gained momentum, thanks to great serving by

Whitney Wallis and Allison Cheatham and won the game, scoring eight of

the final nine points scored. St. Pius took the second game but McIntosh

dominated the third and final game. Tara Hamilton, Natalie Crowley and

Lisa Watkins all played very strong floor games to give McIntosh the match.

The third and

final match was against Landmark Christian. The first game was tied at

eight points a piece when Landmark capitalized on several McIntosh mistakes
