RANDLEMAN – Randleman’s volleyball team was in cruise control last week.

After sweeping host Asheboro in non-conference play, Randleman continued its roll through the first cycle of Piedmont Athletic Conference matches. The Tigers needed just three sets to top both host Providence Grove and visiting Trinity.

Haley Hinshaw of Randleman raced up 26 kills and teammate Kadie Green provided 49 digs during the week.

By week’s end, the Tigers (11-1) had compiled seven consecutive sweeps.

** UCA bounced back from a rough stretch to sweep visiting Eastern Randolph and host Wheatmore in PAC play sandwiched around a non-league home sweep of Richmond County. UCA’s Emory Johnson had 48 assists in the team’s first two matches combined.

** Asheboro also fell at non-conference foe Trinity, but the Blue Comets won for the first time in Mid-Piedmont Conference play by prevailing in four sets at Central Davidson.

In Trinity’s victory, Karrington Batten registered 22 kills and eight digs and Kaitlyn McCoy had 19 kills and 20 digs to go with three aces.
