FOOTBALL

This Friday, the Spartans head to Mortimer Jordan for another region contest.
VOLLEYBALL
The Mountain Brook volleyball team had a busy week last week. In regular season action, the Spartans knocked off Northridge and fell to McGill-Toolen, two teams that have big postseason aspirations just like Mountain Brook.
The Spartans also played in the Margaret Blalock Tournament over the weekend at Homewood. They knocked off John Carroll, Daphne, Auburn and Spain Park. Their losses were to Hoover and Chelsea.
Stat leaders from the week:
- Hannah Parant: 12 aces, 33 kills, 163 assists, 52 digs
- Mae Mae Lacey: 38 kills, 12 blocks
- Alice Garzon: 11 blocks, 44 kills
This week, Mountain Brook hosts the Class 6A, Area 10 tournament. If the Spartans are one of the top two teams, they will advance to the regional tournament next week.
CROSS-COUNTRY
The Mountain Brook cross-country team traveled to Washington over the weekend to compete in the Nike Hole in the Wall Invitational. Several Spartans participated in the Elite races. On the girls side, Reagan Riley finished second overall, running her 5k in 17:37. Virginia Averyt was 49th overall as well.
