CEDAR BLUFF – When Tiffany Ferguson first came on board with the Cedar Bluff volleyball program five years ago, she had two young but talented players in which to build the future around in senior hitters Audrianna Hargitt and Hannah Leach.

On Saturday, Hargitt, Leach and Ferguson won their 100th varsity match in the eighth-ranked Lady Tigers’ own tournament. The milestone victory came against Sylvania in a 25-21, 25-17 decision.

“Reaching any kind of milestone in your career is an honor, but these first 100 wins are even more special because I had the privilege of sharing them all with two amazing young ladies who have helped take Cedar Bluff volleyball to the next level,” Ferguson said. “Audrianna and Hannah are the ones who really deserve the congratulations. It is their hard work, leadership and determination that have gotten us here. I am very blessed to have been a part of their lives for the past five years.

“To be able to see players like them succeed and excel as they have both on and off the court is the whole reason I wanted to become a coach to begin with. These two young ladies help make my job easy and incredibly rewarding.”

Cedar Bluff (27-18) went on to defeat Sardis (21-25, 25-20, 15-12) and Ohatchee (25-16, 25-23) before losing to Piedmont in the semifinals, 15-25, 21-25.
