After a week of successes in the win column, the Cascade Lady Champions ran into a bit of a buzz saw, dropping two matches in a row to Culleoka and Lincoln County.

Not much went Cascade's way during Monday evening's non-district match against Lincoln County.

After an initial back and forth in the first set, Cascade appeared to be in control of the match until a late rally by the Lady Falcons saw the visitors score five straight points to claim the first set, 25-21.

Lincoln County took advantage of several Lady Champion miscues in the second set and took full control of the match with a 25-16 Set 2 victory.

While Cascade has shown resilience throughout the season, the Lady Falcons denied Cascade a comeback bid and finished off the match in the third set with a 25-21 victory.

Caroline McKamey led the Lady Champion offense with nine kills, two aces and five digs, while Hayden Jones added 14 assists and two digs and two kills.

Cascade will return home on Thursday and host Cascade in a key District 6-A showdown at 6 p.m.
