The Westbrook Christian volleyball team finished runner-up at the Champions Tournament last Saturday (Sept. 10) in Alexandria.
The Lady Warriors (15-1) defeated White Plains (2-0, 25-0, 25-17), Faith Christian (2-0, 25-23, 27-25) and Oxford (2-0, 25-23, 27-25) in pool play before beating Walter Wellborn, 2-0, 29-27, 25-15 in the semifinals. Westbrook then fell to Class 3A No. 6 Ohatchee, 0-2, 15-25-12-25 in the championship match.
“We stayed with Ohatchee in the first game up to 15 points, then the wind just went out of us,” said Westbrook coach Denise Mattison. “But it was a really good day for us.”
