PHOTOS: Rebels complete comeback, qualify for state

HUNTSVILLE -- After two sets, it looked as if the Vestavia Hills High School volleyball team's season would end at the Class 7A North Super Regional on Friday at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville.

The Rebels lost the first couple sets to Bob Jones, but rallied to win the final three sets and win the match in five sets (20-25, 18-25, 25-22, 27-25, 15-8).

The win advances the Rebels to the state tournament, which will take place at the Birmingham CrossPlex next week.

Vestavia Hills played two more matches Friday evening to determine seeding for the state tournament. The Rebels fell to Hoover (25-13, 25-14, 25-20) and Thompson (29-27, 25-12, 25-23) to finish with the No. 4 seed from the north.
