CARTERVILLE — Nine wins in a row is not luck. The Carterville High School volleyball team has strung together nine straight victories, and the Southern Illinoisan reports it's a run that spells trouble for whoever the Lions face next.
Carterville's streak comes as the team finds its rhythm at just the right point in the schedule, building the kind of momentum coaches hope carries into the postseason.
For a program on this kind of roll, every match now carries a little extra weight — nobody wants to be the team that snaps a nine-game streak in Carterville's gym.
