Things are getting really interesting between longtime rivals Smith Center and Phillipsburg. The Lady Red had no trouble in winning three meetings earlier this season, including two days ago at Phillipsburg, but the Panthers are showing fight in the second set, tied at 16 after Smith Center won the first set 25-11.

So far, the higher seeded team has won every match. At the high school, Smith Center over Oakley and Stockton over Hill City; at the elementary school, Ellis over Norton and Plainville over Trego.

I’m about to go over to the elementary school to watch Norton, since I promised Peggy Cox I would.
