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. Maybe spurred by their energetic student section, team green found a “W.” The Gophers led most of the first two sets, but had to battle at the end of each to win. Game one saw six late ties. Chatfield ended the stanza 6-0 for the 25-20 win. The Gophers led … [Read more...]

An Interesting “Vets” Tourney
Wabasha always hosts a late September volleyball tournament. Fillmore Central, Kingsland, and Rushford-Peterson were among this year’s entrants. The tourney glared the unpredictability of the area volleyball scene. FC got an easier pool and went 3-0, beating La Crescent (25-18, 25-10), Lake City (25-9, 25-17), and R-P (25-15, 25-23). R-P went 2-1 in that pool, beating Lake … [Read more...]
