The teal and black’s … [Read more...]

Falcons Clip Knights, Near TRC Showdown
It has been a couple years since Fillmore Central volleyball was the Three Rivers heavyweight. In 2013 and 2014, the Falcons won back-to-back undefeated league titles on the way to back-to-back section title games. After a two year lull of still-good-but-not-the-best, FC is tiptoeing toward (hoping for) the later. Travis Malley’s Falcons won two more league matches to move … [Read more...]

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...]
