GARDENDALE — It hasn't been the best of seasons for Gardendale's volleyball team, with just five wins in 21 matches.
The good news for the Rockets: three of those wins have come against area opponents.
The third of those came Tuesday night, as Gardendale took down Hewitt-Trussville 25-15, 25-19, 13-25, 25-17 at home.
Cassie Snow tallied 13 kills for the Rockets. Katy Belcher had eight kills and 14 digs, and Kecli Tuggle served four aces.
Gardendale (5-16, 3-1 area) hosts Minor on Thursday.
Three Pinson Valley seniors-to-be were named to the roster of the north team, and Indians coach Matt Glover will be an assistant for the north team at the AHSAA North-South All-Star Football Game in Montgomery.
