The Mountain Brook High School volleyball team will play in the state Semi Finals game against Huntsville tonight at 5 p.m.
Mountain Brook, the No. 1 seed from the North, defeated the No. 4 seed from the South, Baker High from Mobile, Wednesday morning in the Quarterfinals game.
The Elite 8 State Finals will take place at the Crossplex in Birmingham at the old State Fairgrounds located west of downtown.
The State Championship match is set for 10:30 a.m. Thursday morning.
Nine busloads, or about 490 students, from the high school have paid to attend Wednesday morning's game, and another 377 from the Junior High plan to attend, according to parent Kathy Webber.
Mountain Brook Sporting Goods printed 1,000 pink Spartan T-shirts for student fans to wear at the game.
Last week, the team qualified for Elite 8 State Finals for the first time since 1997 and then went on to win the North Super Regional for the first time.
The girls defeated Sparkman on Saturday in Huntsville to qualify for the State Finals. Later that day the team defeated Huntsville in the North Semis and then Bob Jones in the North Finals.
