Horseshoe Bend starts strong, falters against Decatur Heritage

Lizi Arbogast / The Outlook Horseshoe Bend's Abby Cheatam calls for a serve receive.

Everything was working out so well for Horseshoe Bend’s volleyball team in the early goings of the Class 2A North Super Regional in Huntsville on Friday. The Generals started out really strong and took an early one-set lead in the first-round matchup against Decatur Heritage, but slowly but surely, the Eagles clawed their way back in it.

They closed out a narrow victory in Set 2 and seemed to get stronger with each set. It eventually resulted in a 3-1 win, eliminating Horseshoe Bend from the regional competition.
