Season Recap: JV Volleyball
If there was any doubt about what the Lady Indians JV team could accomplish, a 14-match win streak is plenty enough evidence of how special this group is. The 2022 TFS JV team won 22 games in total, finishing as runner-up in the region tournament.
First-year head coach Tykia Thompson was a perfect fit for the team, as she took a roster that was talented and experienced, and guided them to learn how to win.
The Lady Indians got out to a quick start with wins over Stephens County and Monroe Area. They then went 2-3 over the next five matches. The girls rebounded with a sweep of Commerce and Prince Avenue Christian on August 27, and split their next tri-match. That had the team at 7-4 overall, a respectable mark, although it was the 'calm' before the storm.
The 14-match win streak took off from there, and included wins over Athens Christian, Elbert County, Anderson (SC), Rabun Gap (twice), Highlands (NC), Stephens County, Rabun County, and Commerce. Also within that win streak was a perfect four-match sweep at the Monroe Area tournament on September 17, in which all the wins were 2-0 straight-set victories.
The region tournament saw TFS win their first match before falling to Barrow Arts & Sciences Academy to come in runner-up in the region. The Lady Indians got one final match on October 6 against Banks County, and won 2-0 in dominant fashion to close the season with a 22-5 record.
Several players improved and stood out throughout the season, and Kate Gary, Katarina Foskey, Chesney Tanksley, and Rebecca Heyl all were called up to suit up for varsity as well. Kiersten George, Caroline Smith, Kaylin Pickett, and others all had solid performances throughout the season among many others.
