Walton Repeats as State Volleyball Champ

For third year in a row, Walton High School has won a Georgia High School Association volleyball championship.

And for the second time in as many years, the Lady Raiders defeated Harrison to win the trophy.

Walton defeated the Lady Hoyas 25-22, 23-25, 25-22, 25-11 in Monday's Class AAAAAA title match at McEachern High School.

And as The Marietta Daily Journal reports, Walton got a stellar performance from a player bouncing back from an injury.

Chloe Cook had been out for three weeks with a sprained ankle, but was cleared right before the final, and her inspired play helped Walton prevail.

The Lady Raiders finished the season with a 49-7 record. Harrison's win in Game 2 of the finals was the only game Walton lost in the post-season.
