High school volleyball: Area's big 3 roll into fourth round of state playoffs
Another night, another victory — and another sweep — for D.H. Conley’s volleyball team. The Vikings had little trouble beating Jack Britt 3-0 (25-19, 25-17 and 25-11) in the third round of the NCHSAA Class 7A playoffs Thursday night at Rob Maloney Court at Hollywood Crossroads. The victory extended D.H. Conley’s win streak to 19 matches, dropping only four sets in that span. “When it’s the third round, you know it’s going to be great competition coming in the gym,” Vikings coach Jennifer Gillikin said. “We had a really solid practice yesterday. I felt good about our team. I felt like we were prepared. These girls were super focused. They want to keep moving on.” D.H. Conley (22-1), the No. 1 seed in the East 7A bracket, advances to the fourth round Saturday when it will face No. 5 Chapel Hill, a 3-0 victor over Topsail, at home. The Vikings are looking to return to the state title match for a second consecutive season. The NCHSAA title matches are slated for Oct. 30-31 at Gore Arena on the campus of Campbell University in Buies Creek. Leading just 13-11 in the opening set, the Vikings got a kill from Marley Vestal
