Tuesday’s Region 4-1A volleyball championship match needed all five sets to decide a winner as host Trousdale County overcame a 2-0 deficit to defeat Jackson County in five, 3-2.
Jackson County won the first set 25-11 before taking a 2-0 lead via a 27-25 lead in the second set. Trousdale County battled back to win the third set 25-23 and fourth 28-26 to force a winner-take-all fifth set to 15. The Lady Jackets completed the comeback in the fifth with a 15-13 win to secure their first volleyball region championship since 1989.
Up next for each program is the Class 1A sectional round on Thursday with a trip to the Class 1A state tournament on the line. Trousdale County is set to host Bledsoe County while Jackson County will travel to defending Class 1A state champion Eagleville.
