The North Hall volleyball team couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season. The Lady Trojans did not drop a set against any of their five opponents on Saturday, cruising to the Gold Bracket championship at the Battle of the Branch tournament at Flowery Branch High. North Hall opened the day with a 25-18, 25-7 victory over host Flowery Branch, then picked up victories against Chestatee (26-24, 25-16), Tucker (25-5, 25-7) and Lakeview (25-13, 25-22), before defeating Sandy Creek 26-24, 25-17 for the tournament championship.
