The East Coweta Lady Indians are officially volleyball’s Region 2-6A and Coweta Cup champions.  The girls volleyball team hosted the first round of playoffs on Tuesday October 15th at home against Carrollton.  Varsity player Karea Copeland made First and Avery Miller and Hailey Trotter made Second All Region teams.  Varsity Player Karea Copeland says, “Hard work has finally paid off. Before the game I was excited to be playing Westlake and to be able to get a rematch. I was very confident in my team and our abilities to come out and win this game.” 

The team has been practicing all season long to prepare for the playoffs. They have 18 wins and 20 losses. The volleyball team was able to fight back against Carrollton, and they got up 2 sets to 0 with West Lake. 

Practice for the team is from 3:45-6:00 Monday through Friday. Some of the things that the team does during their practices include ball control, competitive warm up game, skill work like passing, blocking, attacking, and something technical. The players can do a female weightlifting class with Coach Guess, and Coach Ewing does sports psychology for players as well. Every practice  always ends with a competitive game to implement the skill they have worked on during the practice. 

The East Coweta High School volleyball team is going to host the first round and second round of playoffs. The team didn’t win the region last year, but they won this year. Both games were against Carrollton.
