Calhoun girls coach Kerry Lorton said her Lady Warriors never gave up Monday night.

“After being down big in Game 1, they came back to win 29-27. Lexi and Holly were strong at the net blocking and Junie helped with her hitting and Sophie dive after dive. It was a great matchup.”

The Hawks’ head girls volleyball coach Daniel Campbell said: “It’s a lesson learned. We still have multiple chances to win the conference and excel; it depends on how fight back after this one.”

The Warriors improved to 5-5 while the Hawks fell to 3-1 overall.
