Lady Blue Devils are state-bound again

Statesboro's Tess Newton soars while looking for a kill shot against Bradwell Institute at the Devils' Den in this Tuesday, Sept. 30, file photo. In its fourth year as a program, the Blue Devils battled through a brutal Area 3 schedule to secure a spot in the state playoffs this time Class AAAAA for the third-straight season.
In the summer of 2011, the Statesboro volleyball team consisted of little more than a court, a net, and a handful of girls willing to try their hand at a new sport. Fast forward to the present and the Lady Blue Devils are on their way to a third consecutive state tournament. Statesboro made the Class AAAA state playoffs as a second-year program in 2012 and made a return trip last season.
