FC VB Still Best Falcons, 6-0 in TRC
There was a bit of intrigue to the big FC/W-K volleyball match. Days earlier, Fillmore Central (10-4) was the #1 seed in W-K’s tourney, but fell in the first round. Falcons-North (9-1), surprisingly won the event. Falcons-South (let’s call them the B&B squad) extracted a bit of revenge and posted another very good TRC win. FC fought off W-K for the 3-1 win (25-23, … [Read more...]

Trojans/Gopher VB Cap Week
Capping the volleyball action was the best match of the week. Chatfield went to R-P and had the Trojans on the ropes.

Chatfield ended the stanza 6-0 for the 25-20 win. The Gophers led … [Read more...]
‘Cane Football Wears Out M-C
It took until the second stanza. Undefeated, #3 in 9-Man Houston (3-0), wore out Mabel-Canton (2-1).
