Prior to 2017, Vancleave High School had never won a state championship of any kind.
But that all changed with the emergence of a South Mississippi volleyball dynasty, having now won three consecutive state crowns in addition to a baseball title in 2018.
Prior to 20-17... vancleave hig- school had never won a- state championship... of any- kind.
- but that all changed, with the- emergence of a south- mississippi volleyball- dynasty... having now won three- consecutive state crowns... in- addition to a baseball title...- in 20-18.
- 4-a vancleave hosting 6-a - hancock... and those lady - bulldogs picking up right where- they left off, last year... - coming in with an overall - record, of 15-3.- early in the first set... let's- start a rally... hancock's- ashley- corey gets it back into the - middle... but the lady hawks- - - - can't get home, on the spike...- so they're gonna try it again..- controlled by the libero alex - faussett... then clair cuevas..- jacey garriga denied... and - check out the dig from- faussett... but that gives- vancleave time to set it up for- hannah burks... kill shot...- lady bulldogs take an early - 4-nothing - lead... second-year head coach- christina daigle loving it.
- and another marathon of a - point... lyndi bakker on the- serve... but it's controlled by- the lady hawks... and reagan- huff- has a chance at a spike... but- that won't do it... eve mixon - gets it - back over... and keep an eye on- her... huff gonna give it - another - go... but mixon comes flying- over, to get the dig... shovel- in- the ground... hancock trying to- - - - save it... but that point goes- to the lady bulldogs, as well..- they start out on a 12-2- run... timeout lady hawks.- they would finally get it going- later in the set... here's- faussett on the serve... and- - - - just too much top spin on that- one... ace for the libero...- cutting the deficit to 22-12...- but too - little, too late.
- they're going up against the- reinging three-time state - champions... after all... burks- dropping a hammer of her- own... another ace to close out- the first set... with the lady- bulldogs taking it... 25-12.- but what a match this would tur- into... vancleave crusing in th- second set as well, 25-14... bu- hancock would flip it 25-14, in- the - third... before taking a crazy- 28-26 result, in the fourth...- and - then 15-9, in the fifth... to - - - - win it 3-2.
Lady hawks improve- to 5-2... lady bulldogs fall to- 15-4.
