The Pickens Recreation 12U Volleyball All-Star team won its third SCAP State Tournament on Dec. 5 in North Myrtle Beach. [cointent_lockedcontent]The team defeated Abbeville and Liberty to win the Western District title and earn a trip to the State Tournament. In pool play, the team defeated Myrtle Beach by scores of 25-17 and 25-14, then North Myrtle Beach, 25-12 and 25-16, before taking on Myrtle Beach again for the championship and winning 25-21 and 25-14. While visiting the beach, the girls stayed oceanfront at the Sea Mist hotel and had a blast playing in the pool. When they returned home, they were thrilled when asked to be grand marshals of the Pickens Christmas parade. The girls would like to thank all of their supporters for the terrific representation at both tournaments. It was a great experience and one they will not soon forget!
