Henderson County begins defense of their Second Region volleyball title Monday night when they host University Heights in the first round of the region tournament at 7pm at Trigg County’s Wildcat Gym.
The Lady Colonels (22-14) are one of two teams that were unbeaten against Second Region opposition during the regular season. Caldwell County was the other.
Henderson County will try and become just the third school to win three straight Second Region volleyball titles. Madisonville (2004-06) and Caldwell County (2009-11) are the other two schools to pull of the region three-peat.
Henderson is 24-7 all-time in the region tourney and has not lost a first round match since the current tournament format was adopted in 2003.
UHA (14-19) enters the tournament as the Eighth District runner-up and have won three of their last four first round matches. The Lady Blazers are 4-5 all-time in the region tournament but have lost all five career meetings with Henderson County.
The winner of this match plays the winner of the 5:30 contest between Madisonville and Trigg County Wednesday at 5:30.
