AHSAA All-Star Week: South rolls to volleyball win to close out competition

The South volleyball All-Stars closed out the AHSAA North-South All-Star Week on Thursday with a 3-1 win over the North at Montgomery’s Cramton Bowl MultiPlex.

The South All-Stars won 25-22, 25-19, 17-25, 25-19, ending the week’s competition with wins in baseball, basketball, golf and softball. The North All-Stars swept the cross country races and the teams split in tennis and soccer.

The South jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the two sets thanks to the balanced play of the front row led by Daphne’s Ella Lomax, Charli Pearce of Saraland, Rehobeth’s Kryslin Martin and Bayside Academy’s talented 6-foot-3 outside hitter Haley Robinson. Setter Libby Rogers of Fairhope managed the attacks with her assists.

The North’s Millie Burgess of Vestavia Hills and Kendall Buckley of Bob Jones stepped up, however, and helped their team claw back into the match as the North won the third set.

In the end, Lomax delivered 4 key kills to close out the fourth set. The South was also aided by libero M.K. Whitehurst, who served 4 aces to separate the teams late in the final set. She finished with 5 aces.

Lomax finished with 9 kills and 3 digs to earn South MVP honors. Martin had 9 kills, Pearce and Bennett Buolo of St. Paul’s added 6 kills each. Robinson had 5 and Cami Huff of McGill-Toolen had 5. Libby Rogers finished with 12 assists and 9 digs with Baylee Rogers of Prattville Christian contributing 14 for the South.
