Ain't no party like a NEON SPARTY PARTY! Summit opened up the season with a strong showing at home vs the Raiders of Spring Hill. Sophomore Breyker Wolf scored the first Spartans touchdown of the season, followed by a quick hit to Micah Sally and then a blocked punt by Ryan Ellis that was run in for a third score just before the half. The defense held the Raiders scoreless for three and a half quarters before giving up a late touchdown.

The Spartans will travel to Nolensville tomorrow night. It's a CAMO OUT. The team looks to avenge a late scoring loss from last season. The boys will be back home on September 4th to take on Brentwood.

In a rematch of the State Championship from last year, Brentwood came to our house looking to inact some revenge. The Spartans were too strong and dominated the Bruins for three straight matches. Seniors Everleigh DeShazo and Madison Spelta were both strong up front. Junior Gabby Gutierrez also makes some key plays. Transfer setter Raegan Burtch made her present felt and a host of fellow Spartans all chipped in to lead the team to victory. The three set victory went 25-15, 25-19, 25-19. The JV and Freshmen teams also defeated Brentwood.

The girls travel to Xndy tonight at 6:00pm. Support your Spartans by showing up and in all white.

Congrats to Coach Warne Riker on being named the TSSAA Volleyball Coach of the Year for 2025-26. He led a talented group of girls to the State Championship over local powerhouse Brentwood. Coach Riker puts in countless hours to the program and to the community for youth volleyball. Proud that Coach Riker is a Spartan.

The Spartans are living up to their pre-season ranking of #7 in the State by going 3-0 and not conceding a single goal in the three contests. Goal keepers Ava Sweere and Marleigh O'Donnell have combined in the three shutouts with the help of defenders, Reagan Franse, Emma Cate Young, Macy Seagrove, Aryah Gray, Sophia Chandler and Alex Stoker.

Offensively, the team is led in goals by Summer Riley with 6 goals and Aryah Gray has 4 goals on the season. Ava Simpson and Caroline Lewis both have two assists each.
