The Ashley High School Volleyball team defeated Jacksonville on the road last night in straight sets (25-14, 25-19, 25-14). The Eagles improved to 5 and 1 on the year.
With league play getting underway this week, there are already teams in the area jockeying to be the early front runners in what should be an exciting season. At least four to five local teams could very well be looking to make some noise in the State Tournament later on this year. In the 4A Mid-eastern Conference, Ashley is currently 5-1 with their only loss coming on the road to a state champion contender in DH Conley, last week. “The girls battled back and forth, but were unable to pull it out at the end.” Coach Larry Salefsky said. One win this year was at home against DH Conley in a closely played 3 games to 2 match. Ashley also beat, in straight sets-the 2 time defending Eastern Central Conference Champs in Topsail High School.
