The Salem High volleyball team is 6-7 after a marathon win on Tuesday night at home against Pulaski County. Salem downed the Cougars in five sets, 25-13, 19-25, 25-14, 18-25 and 15-10.
“It was like a tale of two cities,” said Spartan coach Basil Conner. “It kept going back and forth.”
The Gibson twins led the charge for Salem. Macy Gibson had nine kills and six aces and sister Kate had eight kills. Kourtney Goens was high with 18 kills.
The Spartans dropped a home game to Patrick Henry last Thursday. After winning the first set, 25-18, Salem dropped the next three by scores of 25-21, 25-20 and 25-23. Goens had 10 kills and two blocks for the Spartans and Hailey Crotts had five kills.
Salem was scheduled to host Roanoke Catholic on Wednesday of this week but results were too late for publication. The Spartans are at Cave Spring next Tuesday, Oct. 6.
