VINEMONT, Ala. – This year’s Cullman County Volleyball Tournament concluded with the championship match Thursday night and for the first time in four years, the county crown is changing hands. West Point dominated Fairview in the semifinals, and the Warriors carried the momentum into the finals, sweeping 4-time defending champion Good Hope to capture the county title.

West Point 3 – Good Hope 0 (25-13, 25-11, 25-17)

West Point got off to a fast start, building an 8-3 lead early in the opening set. The Warriors maintained a 15-9 advantage as the set went on and led 19-6 at one point before sealing a 25-13 win.

West Point’s momentum carried into the next set. The Warriors led 6-2 early on and extended the lead out to 11-3. Similar to the first set, West Point led 19-6 at one point before pulling away to secure a 25-11 win in the second set.

The Raiders battled back in the third set, jumping out to a 3-0 lead before West Point climbed back to take a 4-3 lead. Good Hope was able to move back in front 10-6 but the Warriors dominated the rest of the way, putting together a 10-0 scoring run to take a 16-10 lead. West Point pulled ahead 23-14 at one point before sealing a 25-17 win and completing the sweep.

Warriors Head Coach Meagan Cagle is proud of the way her team showed up focused and determined this week and couldn’t be happier for a group of girls she loves coaching.

“I’m just so proud. We’ve really worked on a lot of things and changed some stuff, and this is the best group I’ve ever coached,” Cagle said. “They’re just fun to be around, they’re selfless, they’re kind and they’re always smiling and laughing and having a good time. That just makes what we do so much better. It’s a joy to be here, I love being around them. It makes it really sweet because I wanted it for them.”

West Point 2 – Good Hope 1 (25-17, 22-25, 15-8) (JV Championship)

The Warriors took a 7-4 lead early in the first set and extended the lead to 14-8 as the set went on. West Point pulled ahead 20-10 at one point and went to claim the opening set 25-17.

Good Hope bounced back in the second set, jumping out to an early, 3-0 lead. The Raiders maintained a 9-4 advantage as play continued and stayed in front 16-12 midway through the set. However, West Point was able to battle back and tie things up at 16 but Good Hope regained control down the stretch and took the second set 25-22 to even up the match.

The Warriors finished strong in the third and final set. West Point led 5-1 early in and moved ahead 10-6 midway through the set before wrapping up a 15-8 win and securing the county title.
