TRM coach Terri Lynne Peacock said her team came into the tournament ready to compete.

“We played pretty solid throughout the two days,” Peacock said. “Going into  Friday’s game against Providence Christian (ranked No. 5 in the state) it would have been easy for us to let the name on their shirts intimidate us. We may not have won the game, but I was impressed with our willingness to compete.”

TRM had to wait over four hours between the Beulah and Opp game before the team could hit the court again. Peacock said she’s proud of how the team responded despite the setback.

“Often times that can affect your game when you enter back into play,” Peacock said. “However, I was extremely proud of all 11 players. They weren’t going to settle for fourth place again. The girls on the side court were supplying motivation and energy. It was contagious. I am really proud of our performance at Super Regionals.”

The 3A Volleyball State Tournament will be held Oct. 26-27 at the Birmingham Crossplex in Birmingham located at 2337 Bessemer Road. TRM will play West Morgan Oct. 26 at 11 a.m. The winner will advance to play the winner of Bayside Academy/Plainview in the semifinals. Admission for the tournament is $10 per day.
