"We played well the first set, we had some great blocks and kills, but fell short," CHS head coach Kathy Moore said. "In sets two and three we didn't handle Linton's quick attack and we struggled with passing. After the match I told the girls that next week is a brand new season. Everyone is equal and anything can happen. We have a lot to work on before next Tuesday when we play South Putnam at Covenant Christian in the second match (of sectional)."
