Christian Fellowship’s Lady Eagles are 5-0 and remain the only team in the First Region with an unblemished record, while handing Murray and Marshall County their only losses so far this season. They return their entire roster from last year’s 22-15 team under Head Coach Suzie Burnett in her 13th season.
CFS beat Murray 3-0 (25-13, 25-5, 25-18) to open the 2022 season then followed that up with a 3-2 (26-24, 25-27, 24-26, 27-25, 15-9) win over Graves County. The win over Murray was the 20th straight, a run that dates back to October 2014.
