BY JAMES SWIFT [email protected]

The jury trial for a mother accused of prostituting her own preteen daughter is scheduled to begin Monday in Bartow Supe- rior Court. According to Bartow County Superior Court documents, co- defendants Jennifer Lea Short, 38, and Javier Murietta 43 — whose surname is also listed as Murrieta on several documents — are each charged with one count of traffi cking a person for sexual servitude, one count of rape and one count of child molestation. A third codefendant, Roge- lio Cabello Gallegos, 58, pled guilty to three counts of rape and three counts of child molestation earlier this month. Gallegos, who impregnated the then 13-year-old victim, was sentenced to life with the fi rst 25 years to serve in prison by Cherokee Judicial Circuit Judge D. Scott Smith.

Adairsville volleyball to visit ALL EYES ON WEINMAN North Hall for 1st round of state tournament

BY NICHOLAS SULLIVAN [email protected]

The Adairsville volleyball team would have known all season that they would qualify for the Class 3A state tournament, thus is life as a member of a four-team area. After fi nishing fourth in the Area 5-AAA tournament last Saturday at Haralson County, the Tigers will hit the road to face Area 7-AAA champion North Hall in the fi rst round Saturday in Gainesville. Adairsville’s match against the No. 6-ranked team in 3A is tentatively scheduled for noon. Due to the GHSA pod system, which leads to No. 1 seeds hosting four teams, it will essentially take place following the match between Windsor For- est (1-AAA runner-up) and Johnson, Savannah (3- AAA No. 3 seed). Adairsville head coach Kailey Vaughn Martin is looking forward to her team getting a chance to tus- sle with one of the classifi cation’s top teams. She has seen her squad improve greatly over the past month or so, including beating the likes of Pickens, North Murray and Gordon Central — all teams that had defeated the Tigers earlier in the year. “We are excited to be playing at the state level,” Vaughn Martin said. “We have worked hard all season and are prepared to face North Hall this weekend. “At the beginning of the season, we were ner- vous and disjointed. As the season has progressed, RICK ROSS/SPECIAL we have become much closer as a team, and it has Cartersville junior receiver Kyler Johnson hauls in a pass from quarterback Tee Webb during a game at Cherokee on Sept. 20.
