Tuesday night brought plenty of action across the county as volleyball and tennis teams took the courts. West Bladen continued to build momentum with a convincing sweep in Red Springs and a tennis doubleheader sweep at home, while East Bladen battled through a tough matchup in Elizabethtown with both its varsity and junior varsity squads seeing extended rallies.

Tuesday night served up victories and milestones for both East Bladen and West Bladen athletics. Volleyball programs from both schools notched key conference wins, JV squads continued to impress with consistent execution, and athletes hit the trails in cross country competition to round out a packed evening of fall sports.

It’s been a long 24 hours of volleyball serves, soccer goals, and cross-county competition — but that’s what makes days like this worth it. Welcome to The Morning After… in the Evening, where we round up all the action from around the county and deliver it straight to you, no matter how packed the schedule (or how late the coffee kicked in). Let’s dive in.
