Amazing comeback fuels NC volleyball's return to the state tournament

ZANESVILLE ― After dominating the first set, Newark Catholic volleyball found itself on the short end of 17-5 and 18-6 scores in the second against a talented, versatile Meigs Eastern team. A Division VII regional championship sweep in Zanesville High School's Winland Memorial Gymnasium hardly seemed possible. If the defending Division VI state champs were going to return to Wright State, a lengthy battle seemed likely on Nov. 7. Until it wasn't. Playing a tough nonleague schedule, competing in the challenging Licking County League and facing adversity in demanding practices, the Green Wave (21-5) stormed back and completed the 25-15, 25-23, 25-23 victory that earned it a 2 p.m. state semifinal berth Nov. 12. They'll play second-ranked Fort Loramie (22-4) in Nutter Arena in their record 24th state appearance. "I had full faith in our team. I always do," senior hitter Leah Caudill said of the comeback. "Little by little, we turned on the switch and responded. We expected it. In practice, we work on coming back from deficits. We find ways to expose the other team, work to put our hitters in the best position. It was crazy the way we came back, but it was fun." Coach Katie

Bloom Carroll volleyball cruises to regional title, headed back to state tourney

WESTERVILLE — A year after making its first appearance in the state tournament and finishing as state runner-up, the Bloom-Carroll volleyball team is back in the final four. After losing three key seniors, this year’s run to the state tournament might have seemed a little unexpected, but the Bulldogs' regional tournament play left no doubt. After losing the first set against Toledo Notre Dame Academy, the Bulldogs turned up the heat and never let up against the Eagles as they dominated the final three sets in a 22-25, 25-14, 25-14, 25-18 victory in the Division III regional championship game on Saturday, Nov. 7, at Westerville South High School. Bloom-Carroll (22-4) advances to the final four and will play Parma Padua Franciscan at 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13, in a state semifinal at Vandalia-Butler High School. The state championship game will be played at 1 p.m. on Nov. 14 at Wright State University. More: Bloom-Carroll rallies past Sheridan to punch ticket to Elite Eight Notre Dame came in with a 13-12 record, but the thought process among some people was that it played a tough schedule, including teams from out of state, and were considered the favorites on Saturday.
