Baylor’s Rachel Travis said she’s now about 75 or 80 percent recovered from the sprained ankle she suffered Sept. 10. And that’s been 100 percent bad news for the Lady Red Raiders’ last six volleyball opponents.

The sixth of those was Brentwood Academy on Saturday. The Lady Raiders, led by Travis’s 20 kills, defeated the Lady Eagles 3-0 in a TSSAA Division II-AA sub-state match at Baylor.

Baylor (34-12) now moves on to Murfreesboro and the state tournament, which starts Wednesday. BA finished 18-21.

St. Agnes ended the season for GPS by winning 3-0 in a sub-state match at Memphis. Set scores were 25-16, 27-25, 25-22.

The scores in Baylor’s victory were 25-17, 25-20, 25-12.
