The Tigers (27-5) defeated one-time Class 2A state champion North Branch (22-8) in the Section 7-3A championship on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at Princeton High School. Playing with the urgency of not wanting to wait until next season to qualify for state, Princeton fought hard, winning a close first set 25-21. The Tigers took control of the match in the second set and won it 25-16. After trailing early in the third set, Princeton rallied to win it 25-16, clinching the match and a berth in the Class 3A state tournament. The players jumped onto each other in celebration, and some of the students in the Princeton student section stormed the court, throwing orange, black and white confetti into the air. Following the match, the Vikings received their Section 7-3A silver medals and the Section 7-3A runner-up trophy. Then, it was time for the main event.
