Addison coach Pam Wilkins and senior Jessica Benton discuss strategy in between sets at Monday's area tournament. 

HUNTSVILLE — Two local volleyball programs with plenty of state tournament experience moved one step closer to clinching their latest appearances on Day 1 of the North Super Regional.

Top-ranked Addison crushed Southeastern 25-3, 25-5, 25-5 in a Class 2A opener, while Good Hope held on for a 25-16, 25-12, 22-25, 25-23 victory over Wilson in 4A action Friday at the Von Braun Center.

St. Bernard had the upset of the early stages, however, eliminating 1A, Area 14 tourney champion Belgreen in straight sets (25-11, 25-15, 25-21). Holly Pond’s campaign came to a close with a four-set loss to No. 10 Colbert Heights in 3A (25- 23, 13-25, 18-25, 18-25).

The three triumphant squads will resume play on Saturday needing just one win to advance to next week’s Elite Eight. A state berth would be the 13th straight for Pam Wilkins’s Bulldogs and the 13th for the Raiders under longtime coach Rosemary Brown.

Good Hope (36-16) will take on Brooks, which cruised by Carbon Hill, Saturday at 9 a.m. Addison (51-2) will face No. 10 West End, which swept Fyffe, at 10:30 a.m. The Saints will play No. 7 Spring Garden at 1:30 p.m.

Holly Posey paced the Lady Bulldogs against Southeastern with 27 assists, 10 aces and two kills. Jessica Robinson uncorked nine aces and five kills, and Summer Hinton chipped in nine kills, a block and two digs. Callie Brewer contributed six aces and three kills.

Posey, who burst onto the varsity stage as a seventh-grader at Winston County and transferred to Addison as a sophomore, is poised to break the state record for career assists Saturday. The 27 from Friday’s match brought her total to 7,633, just 22 shy of former Huntsville great Chelsea Wintzinger.

Kaylee Maddox let loose for 36 kills, two blocks and a pair of pass assists in Good Hope’s first-round triumph. Alyssa Harlan ripped off 13 kills and four blocks, Jessica King compiled eight blocks and five kills, Angel Baker added five kills, 12 assists and two aces, Hannah Smith tacked on 48 set assists, a kill and a pass assist, and Hannah Clay had 16 pass assists, three kills and three aces.

Zana Wilson notched 18 kills and seven digs in St. Bernard’s three-set victory. Other contributors were Aimme Cortes, 24 digs and four aces; Abbie Mescher, 33 assists and three aces; Avy Whaley, five kills and two digs; Sophia Rataj, five kills; and Alli Messick, eight digs, six aces and two kills.
