Cactus has proved itself as one of the top teams in 4A girls volleyball this season. It just needs a little time to warm up.
The #4 seed Cobras fell behind 19-14 in the first set of Tuesday’s playoff quarterfinal with #5 ALA-West Foothills. But the home team battled back to tie it at 23, then won the set on senior outside hitter Laila Long’s kill and freshman libero Madison Bambulas’ ace.
“We’ve done that so many times this season. We have fighters,” Cactus Coach Deb Martin said. “They were better. It was very crucial. It set the tone for the evening.”
