Stanhope Elmore’s volleyball season came to a close in the Class 5A sub regionals, falling to Rehobeth in three straight sets as the Mustangs’ postseason run ended on their home court.
The 25-20, 25-19, 25-21 loss brought a difficult conclusion to a season that saw Stanhope Elmore capture an area championship and earn the opportunity to host a subregional matchup. Despite coming up short against a disciplined Rehobeth team, the Mustangs continued to compete throughout the match, with setter Molly Davis helping direct the offense and Promise Cottrell providing key attacking opportunities.
