International wins 25-10, 25-15
Griffins have no problem with Knights
The International boys varsity volleyball team breezed to an easy win over Cambridge Tuesday in their own gym, winning the first set 25-10 and then having only slightly more difficulty winning the second, 25-15.
They now lead the league at the halfway point with a 3-0 record.
It needs to be said that Cambridge did not play that badly. Many of the points were decided only after long rallies that were well played on both sides.
In one exchange Cambridge made two sensational saves by kicking upward balls that had rebounded off the net.
But International played more steadily, making fewer errors. The Griffin players were loose, smiling, clearly enjoying themselves and their domination of the game. The victory cheers after each point they won were sharp and clear, and echoed through the gym.
Second set is a squeaker
Eagles win 2-0 over resilient Jaguars
The Christian Learning varsity boys volleyball team had a relatively easy time dispatching Cooperative in the opening set, 25-16, at the Jaguars gym Tuesday, but had to battle point for point in the second set before winning 25-23 to take the match.
The Jaguars trailed in the closing stages of the second set, but closed to a single point at 23-22, and the final three points were all intensely hard-fought.
