TRA makes a couple of adjustments to prevail over Brighton

As the 2026 regular season came to a close, two area teams came together for a postseason tune up. The Brighton Gymnasium was the setting for the Lady Cardinals’ Senior Day but the guests Tipton-Rosemark Academy Lady Rebels were rude by taking the match 20-25, 25-16, 25-14 and 25-14. Brighton took advantage of the TRA lineup change and formation shift by attacking the Lady Rebels with Greta Garrett setting up her hitters like Aeryl Potter, Emma Smith and Briley Bennett. Then TRA Head Coach Misha Butler put her rotation back to the regular formation with Caroline Roland going from setting to being a hitter. The Lady Rebels were paced by libero Kaitlynn Crull and senior Bailey Treadwell with multiple saves. Roland was joined by Lauren Pickett, Elizabeth McCall, Hailey Crull and Andi Richardson in scoring at the net.
