Ashley Pursifull, a Bob Jones volleyball player, said “It feels amazing to know that all the workouts, long practices, and time you spent was worth it. Also, we prayed before and after every practice so we give God all the glory for our victories.”
The volleyball team trained all year for this moment. After their long dedicated practices, their work paid off.
Huntsville won seven out of the last six state championships. The only time Bob Jones has won the State Playoffs since 1971 was in 2008.
