The Quitman Lady Bulldogs continued a strong stretch of play Tuesday, Sept. 1, sweeping county rival Alba-Golden in three sets at Delbert Ballard Gym.
Quitman took the non-district match 3-0, improving to 9-12 on the season. The victory was the Lady Bulldogs’ fourth win in five matches. Alba-Golden fell to 7-10 with the loss.
The win also marked Quitman’s first victory over Alba-Golden since 2020. The teams had last met twice during the 2022 season, with Alba-Golden winning both matches in straight sets.
Quitman carried that success into Friday’s road match at Union Grove, sweeping the Lady Lions 25-15, 26-23, 25-14. The victory was Quitman’s third straight and improved the Lady Bulldogs to 10-13 on the season.
Quitman returned home Tuesday, Sept. 8, to face Chisum at 6:30 p.m. The Lady Bulldogs are scheduled to host Lone Oak Friday, Sept. 11.
