PICKENS – Pickens High School defeated Westwood last Thursday to end the Redhawks’ volleyball season just a few games short of the title bout.
The Blue Flame took control of the match early, taking the first set easily 25-9 and the second set 25-14. Facing elimination, Westwood battled back in the third set. Pickens squeaked out their needed third win with a 26-24 final.
Westwood ends their Region IV 4A Runner Up season with a 13-6 record, 8-2 in league play.
