Trophy case continues to grow at Hazel Green – Lady Trojans earn crown at Madison County tourney
NEW MARKET – Hazel Green claimed its second volleyball championship in four days Tuesday by winning the Madison County Tournament at Buckhorn.
But the Lady Trojans hope the hardware they collected to go with its Scottsboro Invitational trophy are merely accessories.
“We still have to work very hard to get where we need to be to get to state,” said Jordan Corder, named tournament Most Valuable Player after Hazel Green defeated Madison County 25-11, 25-18 in the final.
Hazel Green will have to battle Class 6A, Area 16 foes Buckhorn and powerhouses Huntsville and Grissom to reach state.
“We all have to work very hard,” Corder said, “but we all want it really bad.”
Hazel Green had a first-round bye Tuesday, then defeated New Hope 25-11, 25-11 in the semifinals.
In combined matches for Hazel Green (31-9), Jordan Owens had 16 kills and three aces, Chelsi Bryant had eight blocks and Corder had 29 assists and 15 digs.
Madison County advanced to the final with a 25-21, 25-15 victory over Buckhorn.
In combined matches for Madison County (20-20), Jenna McCulley had 17 assists, Mary Catherine Nichols 13 kills and Denise Crawford 14 digs.
For the Lady Bucks (16-21), Kayla Tickles had eight assists, Kelsey Smith seven kills, Courtney Turner seven digs and Ryan Espy five blocks.
New Hope advanced to the semifinals with a 20-25, 25-22, 15-6 victory over 6A Sparkman, then lost to Hazel Green.
New Hope coach Shelia Mitchell said her team appeared distracted.
“It’s homecoming week,” she said. “We couldn’t seem to get any momentum going.”
The Lady Indians (20-11) have lost to Hazel Green three times this season, but Mitchell said her team put up a better fight in previous matches.
“We can stand on our own when we come ready to play,” she said.
In combined matches for New Hope, Justina Craft had 17 kills and Rachel Warren had 14, Audrey Shubert had 26 assists and Taylor Wilkerson had 15 and Kaity Ange added 11 digs.
Chelsi Carter and Owens joined Corder on the All-Tournament team as did Buckhorn’s Jessica Olsen, Sparkman’s Rachel Kummer, New Hope’s Shubert and Kraft and Madison County’s McCulley and Nichols.
