ROCKVALE — The South Greene Lady Rebels will have to fight their way through the consolation bracket of the TSSAA Class A state volleyball tournament, falling to Summertown in the opening round: 14-25, 18-25, 23-25.

With the loss, the Lady Rebels will set their attention to the consolation bracket, where they can still close out the season with a win in the third place match.

“We want to put a better product on the floor than we did today. They have a chance to end the season and not lose another game, that’s our next goal moving forward.”
