New location for AHSAA North VB Super Regional:
MONTGOMERY: Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) has announced the North Volleyball Super Regional will be played at the Finley Center in Hoover the weekend of October 23/25.
An agreement between the AHSAA and the Von Braun Center in Huntsville could not be worked out, so the facility next to the Hoover Met will be the site for teams to qualify for the state tournament.
The agreement with the AHSAA, the Finley Center and the city of Hoover is just for the 2024 season.
