Coming off a tough loss to crosstown rival Hopkins County Central on Tuesday night, the Madisonville-North Hopkins Lady Maroons were looking to get back on track Thursday night as they traveled to University Heights Academy to take on the Lady Blazers.

The Lady Blazers had things going their way early in the third, only to see the Lady Maroons finish strong to win the set 25-23 and go up two sets to one.
The fourth set was like the first and third, a battle to the wire. Madisonville-North Hopkins got on a little bit of a roll late in the set and took a 25-22 win to close out the match three sets to one.
The Lady Maroons had strong performances from Leah Moody, Sadie Kirk, Breanna Petit, and Kately Jones.
