HCA to face No. 13 Purples tonight in state volleyball tournament

Heritage Christian Academy will be playing the biggest game in school history tonight as the Lady Warriors will play host to 13th-ranked Bowling Green in the first round of the KHSAA State Volleyball Tournament.

The match is set to begin at 7 p.m. and HCA coach Grace Stewart said she and her team are excited to be representing Region 2 in the tournament.

Bowling Green enters as the Region 4 champion and is 33-6 on the season. The Lady Purples have won nine straight matches. Their last loss came to Spanish Fort, Ala. Their last loss to a Kentucky school was Sept. 21 at McCracken County.

HCA enters the game on an 11-match winning streak and has a record of 24-5.

The winner of tonight’s match will advance to the quarterfinals Friday at George Rogers Clark High School and will meet the winner of the No. 8-ranked Louisville Mercy-No. 12-ranked North Oldham match.

Tonight’s match is a sell out and no tickets will be sold at the door.
