Season Recap: MS Volleyball

Teams that have short-term memories and refuse to go down without a fight are dangerous. The MS Lady Indians, led by coach Natasha McEntire, personified grit and determination throughout the 2023 season, which ended with a runner-up finish in the league and noticable improvement by nearly every individual.

TFS opened the season at a Habersham Central preseason jamboree with a large number of inexperienced players taking the court. From there, the girls experienced immediate success, improving with each set and match. The A-Team started out winning its first three matches, while the B-Team earned splits in each.

Four times throughout the season, the A-Team had a string of three or more wins in a row. The B-Team picked up steam throughout, winning back-to-back matches in early September. All told, the Lady Indians' A-Team went 11-7 in the regular season, while the B-Team was 3-5-5. 

In the season-ending tournament, the Lady Indians dropped the first set of their opening match with Franklin County, but won the next two sets to claim the match. A win over Madison County came next, avenging a prior loss against the Red Raiders. That pitted TFS against Hart County in the title match, where the Lady Indians fell 2-0.

The Runner-Up finish in the North Georgia Volleyball League, and had a final tally of 13-8, a full three wins better than a year ago. Several players had solid seasons, including Ca'Rin Swinton, Payton McEntire, Paisley Elrod, Finlee Ridlehoover, Emmalyn Whisnant, and many others. The Lady Indians have nine 8th-graders that will move into the high school next year: Swinton, McEntire, Elrod, Lily Smith, Stella Rose Bowman, Keely Franks, Ridlehoover, Madi Williams, and Tinsley Hill.
