The head-to-head rivalry continues to grow as both squads impress with their near-perfect records.

Atlee Raiders: A Season of Excellence

Atlee’s volleyball team has had a standout season, posting a strong overall record of 19-3. With a perfect 10-0 mark in their region, the Raiders have been nearly unstoppable at home, going 10-2 in away games and 9-1 in regional matchups. Their win percentage stands at an impressive .864, and they’ve dominated at home, with a .750 win percentage. In terms of scoring, Atlee averages 25.0 points per game, often sealing wins in tight matchups, like their recent 3-2 victories against Hanover on September 19, 2024, and November 11, 2024.

Despite their impressive record, the Raiders face a tough challenge as they prepare for the playoffs. A key loss against Courtland earlier in the season may give them extra motivation to seek redemption in future matchups.

Courtland Cougars: Unbeaten in Region Play

Courtland’s volleyball team has had a near-perfect season, boasting a 25-2 overall record and an undefeated 16-0 mark in their region. Their dominance on both sides of the court has been clear, particularly in their regional matchups, where they have outperformed teams like Hanover and King George. The Cougars have displayed excellent chemistry and consistency, with a scoring average of 23.5 points per game.

Courtland’s victories this season have not been limited to just one venue—they have proven successful on the road, posting a 13-0 record in away games, and also excelled in neutral-site games with a 4-1 record. Their win percentage stands at an impressive .926, and their flawless regional performance speaks volumes about their readiness for the postseason. The Cougars’ ability to shut down opponents, such as in their recent 3-0 victory over Atlee on September 30, 2024, makes them one of the favorites heading into the playoffs.

Head-to-Head Matchups

In a highly anticipated showdown on September 30, 2024, Courtland handed Atlee a 3-0 defeat. That win marked the Cougars’ third consecutive win against the Raiders. However, Atlee has been successful in the majority of their regional and non-league matchups, including a commanding win over Mechanicsville, 3-0, on October 17, 2024. Their ability to bounce back from tough losses, such as the one against Courtland, will be key as they head into the postseason.

Both teams have faced several common opponents throughout the season, with both showing dominance over teams like Hanover and Mechanicsville. Courtland is undefeated against common opponents, with a 8-0 record, while Atlee has also performed strongly, posting a 7-0 record against the same teams. This speaks to the strength of both programs as they prepare for future matchups and a potential playoff showdown.
