VOLLEYBALL
The Homewood volleyball team began the season last week, posting a 4-2 record in the Briarwood Serve-Off Tournament and advancing to the semifinals. Here are the team’s results from the tournament:
- Loss to Faith Academy; 23-25, 20-25
- Win over Westminster-Oak Mountain; 25-23, 25-11

- Win over Oak Mountain; 25-15, 24-26, 15-13
- Loss to Chelsea; 15-25, 17-25
“Their team unity was strong and pushed them through to a solid semifinals finish,” head coach Cynthia Padgett said. “(We were) led by junior setter Abby Wilson's on-court decision-making, senior Kassidy Schnoer's outstanding hitting on the right side and solid blocking by sophomore Olivia Brown in the middle.”
This week, Homewood travels to McAdory on Tuesday for a tri-match with Oak Grove and plays at Tuscaloosa County on Thursday.
