The Adams Central Flying Jets added more intrigue to the late-season story for ACAC volleyball Saturday with a convincing tournament championship ahead of an all-important match Thursday at South Adams for the regular season title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing in a pool with perhaps the two biggest competitors for the title (thanks to a blind draw), the Jets took care of South Adams in straight sets, then won the opening set convincingly against Jay County. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Patriots bounced back to force a third set with a spot in the championship on the line, but the combination of senior leadership and freshman youth once again worked to perfection and coach Tami Henry’s team smashed Jay 15-4 in the third. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That set up AC for a trophy match with Woodlan and the Jets did much the same as they had done with Jay County, winning in three sets after dropping the second set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freshman Emma Hirschy led the team in the championship with nine kills. She had ten in the three-set win against Jay County and five against South Adams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jets entered the week ranked 56th in the state among all classes in the Indiana Prep Volleyball ratings, but will likely rise significantly after a fantastic week of five straight wins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paige Hamilton led the Jets in kills with eight in the intra-county match, while Laney Trausch led the Stars with seven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Starfires exacted a measure of revenge on Jay from the sweep loss earlier in the week to reach the third-place match, beating Heritage in a competitive three-set match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
