Auburn High Volleyball Sweeps Opelika on Senior Day to Take Class 6A Area 4 Lead

AUBURN — Auburn High swept crosstown rival Opelika in three sets on Senior Day on Tuesday, Sept. 15, at Auburn High School, taking control of the Class 6A Area 4 race.

The Lady Tigers came in on a roll, having beaten Smiths Station 25-7, 25-4, 25-7 the night before for their second area win of the season — a result that set Tuesday’s meeting up as a de facto area championship, as the Opelika Observer noted in its coverage.

Opelika entered the match at 7-4 overall and 1-0 in area play. Both programs turn back to area schedules this week; Opelika hosted Lee-Scott Academy on Thursday, Sept. 17.
