VOLLEYBALL

The Mountain Brook volleyball team challenged itself last week, playing in the prestigious Nike Tournament of Champions in Tampa, Florida. 

Early in the week, the Spartans knocked off Hoover. In Florida, Mountain Brook beat King’s Academy, but suffered losses to Plant, Santa Fe, St. Henry, Spain Park, King’s Academy and Berkeley Prep.

Mae Mae Lacey had 35 kills and 11 blocks to lead the way last week. Anna Frances Adams finished the week with 54 digs and 17 assists. 

This Thursday, Mountain Brook travels to Pell City on Thursday for an area match. The Spartans are now 7-9 on the season.
