A good week ended in great fashion.

The Ironton Lady Fighting Tigers volleyball team began the week with wins over Chesapeake and Boyd County, Ky., then finished up with an impressive win over the South Point Lady Pointers on Wednesday.

Ironton beat Chesapeake 25-6, 12-25, 25-19, 25-22 on Monday, then went to Boyd County on Tuesday and won two matches since Kentucky plays the best 2-out-of-3 to 25.

Wednesday was a 25-15, 20-25, 25-10, 25-21 win over the Lady Pointers.

"South Point is a good team. This was one of our best games of the season," Ironton coach Beth Freeman said. "We had some strong performances from key players, and our offense and defense was outstanding.

"In the middle of a season, a team improves or loses a spark. I don't know what it was, but we finally found our spark."

Sarah Cartmell turned in a strong all-around performance with 11 points, an amazing 18 kills, 6 blocks and 12 digs.

"Cartmell had an amazing night, and I thought Rudmann and Boykin played well, too," Freeman said. "Mays and Hacker and Markins had impressive performances serving, and Fillgrove did a nice job."
