The Signal Mountain and Red Bank volleyball seasons ended Thursday in the TSSAA Class AA state tournament at Murfreresboro.
Signal Mountain eliminated Red Bank 3-2 in serious come-from-behind fashion. But the Lady Eagles then were no match for Hume-Fogg, a 3-0 winner in the match before the losers-bracket final.
The Lady Eagles (35-23) were down 12-7 to Red Bank in the fifth set before scoring eight consecutive points to close it out.
“I’d like to say I know what happened,” Signal coach Jennifer Redman said. “All I can say is that they played with heart. It was a great team effort.”
Red Bank coach Mandi Munn was equally mystified with what took place.
