After a weeklong break, Tallulah Falls volleyball team picked up where it left off by securing two victories over state-ranked Rabun and White counties Thursday night.
In the first match of the evening versus Class 3A No. 6 White County, the Lady Indians fell behind 14-11 to the Warriors. But a timely 8-0 run gave TFS a 19-14 lead that they never surrendered en route to taking the set 25-20.
The second set was more of the same with the two teams trading blows in the early part of the set. However TFS soon found its groove and rattled off eight consecutive points to make the score 13-6 and take control of the match.
From there, TFS continued to drop in point after point to take the set 25-13 and win the match.
LADY INDIANS 2, RABUN COUNTY 0
