Even as the Eminence Lady Warriors season was coming to an end in the 28th District volleyball tournament Monday night, the host Warriors were continuing to get better. That’s all first-year head coach Stephanie Meadows asked for in a year marked by dramatic improvements en route to a three-win season.

The Lady Warriors played even with Shelby County for a while in both games before the Lady Rockets blasted away for two wins to end the best-of-three series, 25-10 and 25-16, and Eminence’s season.

Oldham County scored its 10th goal during the second half Monday night and the Henry County Ladycats ended their second soccer season at the varsity level getting blanked and with an 0-12-2 record.

Playing at North Oldham High School in the first game of the 16th District tournament, the Ladycats could not find the back of the net. Oldham was ahead 7-0 at the half and added three more goals after the break to end the game with the mercy-run rule.

In a see-saw three games that had long volleys, intense moments and an emotional finish, the Henry County volleyball team ended its season Monday night against Anderson County in the opening round of the 28th District tournament.

Playing inside Eminence’s gym, both teams were on fire for much of the match. In the end, though, Anderson moved on to the district finals Tuesday night and the 8th Region tournament next week while Henry ended its season with an 18-6 overall record.
