Battle Creek Middle School Wins Second Straight Volleyball Regional Title, Advances to State
SPRING HILL, Tenn. — The Battle Creek Middle School volleyball team has captured the regional championship for the second consecutive year, earning a return trip to the state tournament. The undefeated Lady Bears secured the regional title with wins against Siegal Middle School and Oakland Middle School in the regional round, continuing a streak of success that has positioned the program among the top in Tennessee middle school volleyball.
“This Battle Creek Middle School Lady Bears volleyball team is an exceptional group of female athletes,” said Battle Creek Middle School Volleyball coach, Jess Jackson. “This group has worked so hard all year, and their dedication shows on the court. We have several returning varsity players from last year's team that put in countless hours of work in the off season to come back stronger, as well as some of last year's key JV players that stepped up to the varsity level challenge. I can’t express how proud I am of every single girl.”
Battle Creek Middle School hopes to build on last year’s momentum at the state level and push for a higher finish after placing 5th last year.
“This is a proud moment for Battle Creek Middle School and our community,” said Maury County Public Schools Superintendent, Lisa Ventura. “Earning a spot to play in the state tournament is extremely difficult. The fact that Battle Creek Middle School is returning to state, and undefeated, is remarkable! I wish them nothing but success and know they will do well.”
The Lady Bears advance to the 2025 TSSAA Middle School Volleyball State Championship at Brentwood Middle and High Schools in Williamson County, October 9-10. Teams will compete in pool play on October 9 and advance into bracket play on October 10. All participating teams are guaranteed to play both days of the tournament.
The mission of Maury County Public Schools is to provide the educational instruction, tools, and environment for every child to succeed in LIFE as Life-long Learners, Independent Thinkers, Fearless Innovators, and Exemplary Citizens.
