Vollyball winners and a trip to Memorial Stadium
The state volleyball finals were this past weekend in Lincoln. And once again the finals were held at the Coliseum. Why this wasn’t implemented a long time ago I have no idea. The same goes for football playing at Memorial. If there is one place girls dream of playing volleyball its the Coliseum. Its a great idea and should be used whenever possible.
Class A:
Papillion La-Vista defeats Papillion La-Vista South (3-0) (2nd straight and 5th state title)
Lincoln Southwest wins the 3rd place match
Class B:
Lincoln Pius X defeats Northwest (3-0) (A 3-peat for the Thunderbolts, and the schools 6th overall)
Interesting note on Pius’ 6 state titles. All 6 of them have come in 3-peats. 96-98 and now 06-08. Look for Pius to win 3 more in 2016-2018
Class C1:
Columbus Scotus defeats Grand Island Central Catholic (3-0) (13th state title in this volleyball powerhouse)
This was Scotus’ first trip back to the tourney after 18 straight trips from 89-06 and an astounding 15 straight trips to the finals
Class C2:
Ravenna defeats Cambridge (3-1) (1st state title in volleyball)
Twice a bridesmaid in the last 5 years Ravenna finally hoists the trophy
Class D1:
Giltner defeats Bertrand (3-1) (5th state title, 1st since 1998)
Their first trip to Lincoln since 1999.
Class D2:
Ewing defeats Chambers (3-0) (1st state title in school history)
Just like Ravenna, they were runners-up the past two years and they finally get the job done.
