Volleyball’s postseason will get going on Monday as the six local high schools start their respective area tournaments.

All teams are playing for a shot to play in the South Super Regional Tournament, which will be held at Montgomery’s Cramton Bowl on Oct. 25-26.

Pleasant Home, Red Level and Opp have already secured berths to the regional tournament because each are either already in the area tournament finals or are in a two-team area. The winner and runner up advance to the Super Regional.

Area tournament format is single elimination, and each match is played in a best-of-five series.

In the Class 1A, Area 2 tournament at Pleasant Home, the Lady Eagles await the Florala-Kinston winner at 5 p.m. on Monday.

RLS will have to travel to Brantley to face the Lady Bulldogs in a single match at 4 p.m.

Also on Monday, Opp will host the Class 3A, Area 2 tournament, which starts at 4 p.m.

Straughn plays Excel to start and the winner will then face the Lady Bobcats at 5:30 p.m. in the finals.

On Tuesday, Andalusia will be in Monroeville, where it will compete in a four-team area tournament.

The Lady Bulldogs have the second match against Hillcrest-Evergreen at 4:30 p.m. The winner of AHS-HHS will advance to face the winner of Wilcox Central-Monroe County at 5:30 p.m. in the finals.
