Volleyball update: Trojans, Senators JV wrap up great years

Published 11:01 pm Monday, October 10, 2016

It won’t end in a state championship, but the Meadowview Christian junior varsity volleyball team had a tremendous year.

The Trojans (19-2) lost two matches to Tuscaloosa Christian on Saturday at Meadowview and won’t get a chance to play for the state championship this weekend in Oxford. Meadowview won two matches against Victory-Columbus but needed one more win to qualify for state.

As it turns out, their only two losses of the year came at a bad time.
