After a quarterfinal sweep of Ravenwood, the girls followed up with a sweep of a tough Nolensville team to set up a title match with the #1 team in the state, Franklin.

The crowd was hyped and the game was intense. After Franklin won set one, the Spartans battled back and won set two. After being up early in set three, Franklin came back to win the set. Then is was Summit's turn to fight back and score the final five points of set four. The final set was as expected a back and forth, incredible finish. Franklin score the final two points to win. We were so proud of our team for their fight and never quit attitude. The second place finish gave them a berth in the regional tournament.

Hosted by Franklin HS, the girls played back to back games in the Regional tournament with Lincoln Co and another thriller against Franklin.

The girls won the Regional Semi-finals in straight sets, bringing the Spartans up against the Admirals for a fourth time this season.

For the fourth time this season, the Spartans faced the Adimirals and for the fourth time, the game went the distance. Summit won sets one and three. Franklin won sets two and four to set up the deciding frame. Franklin found a few extra points to win the set 15-12.

Summit traveled up to Station Camp for the match. After winning a tough first set, they lost the second set to the Bison. After that it was all Spartans winning the final two sets in dominating fashion. This win earned the girls a shot a repeat State Championship opportunity. Raegan Burtch also eclipsed the 1,000 Assist mark in this game. Congrats!

Tournament is being held at Siegel High School in Murfreesboro.

After taking the first two sets, the Spartans looked to be crusing to a Semi-finals match-up with Oakland. Science Hill fought back and won sets 3 and 4, setting up another nail-biting game 5. After being up 12-10 in the final set, Science Hill went on a run and ended up winning 16-14. The girls move to the Consolation bracket to fight toward a 3rd place finish.

After losing the first set, the Spartans swept the next three sets to move on to the Consolation Semis against Arlington. Summit won the only meeting between these two teams in a tournament earlier this year. The winner of the morning game moves to the 3rd place finale.

Summit showed up and created a great atmosphere for the team throughout the tournament. Thanks for all your support.

Fans witnessed a scoreless first half, which saw Summit providing Frankin fits. Despite their attempts to triple-team star senior Summer Riley, Summit out-shot the Admirals and looked like they might give Franklin their first loss of the season. Unfortunately a second half header off a corner kick put the Admirals out in front and their defensive package was able to fend off any last chances for the Spartans. Congrats to the Spartans on another fine season.

Coffee County jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead in Manchaster. Things did not look good after one quarter of play. The Spartans then dominated the rest of the game scoring 42 unanswered points to run away with this game.

Offensively, the Spartans had a great night, rushing for 242 yards with touchdowns rushing by 5 different ball carriers. Ryan Ellis, Ryan Jones, Charles Williams, Davis Smith, and Breyker Wolf each scored. Summit also had one passing touchdowns from Davis Smith to Charles Williams.

The Defense forced 6 turnovers, including 4 fumble recoveries and two interceptions. Bode Wolf and Trevor Spivey had the interceptions. Ryan Ellis had 9 tackles and 1 sack; Jackson Krenke had 8 tackles with a tackle for loss. The Defense only gave up 54 yards of passing.

The team will look to carry that momentum into tomorrow night's game with Franklin. Gametime is 7:00pm and tickets are available on GoFan.
