In their final area game of the season Tuesday at Brewton Middle School, the T.R. Miller Lady Tigers dropped a 3-0 loss to Cottage Hill. T.R. Miller fell to 8-4 overall and to 2-4 in area play.
The Lady Tigers lost set one 25-15, set two 26-24 and set three 25-9.
“We played well in spurts,” T.R. Miller Lady Tiger head coach Greg White said. “In game two I thought we really got after it. In game two I thought we handled Cottage Hill’s serves well. When we finally started playing volleyball, we hung in there with them. In set three we didn’t handle their serves and got behind and you can’t get behind to a team like Cottage Hill. In game two, we had a chance to win it, but we didn’t. I thought, despite the loss, we may have played the best overall tonight. I told the girls after the game that that kind of effort will pay off for us down the road.”
