Champs Again: Mountain Brook Volleyball Team Captures State Title
Mountain Brook won its second straight state volleyball championship Wednesday.
MOUNTAIN BROOK, AL — Mountain Brook High School captured its second consecutive state volleyball championship last week, its first in Class 6A.
The victory marked Mountain Brook’s fifth state title since 2014. The Spartans won three consecutive 7A state championships from 2014-16 and then another in 2019. This was the team’s first in 6A after the Alabama High School Athletic Association modified Mountain Brook’s classification before the 2020-2021 school year.
“I am just so proud of this group of girls,” MBHS head coach Vickie Nichols said in a release. “We have fought so hard all year to make it to the end.”
