The Newport Central Catholic Thoroughbreds defeated the Campbell County Camels 3-0 tonight on hump day in Alexandria . 25-17, 26-24, 25-17.

The Breds win 3-0, including a "stunning" game 2, where the Camels had a 24-19 advantage and fall 26-24.

 

The Camels do win the Frosh and JV matches in convincing fashion, 2-0 in both. Hang in there girls.

 

Very nice crowd tonight, especially by the NewCath students. :thumb:

Also, always nice to see and chat with my Camel friends, I4C and memyselfandi. :thumb:

I would say this was a surprising outcome since most had this match pegged as a toss up between 2 fairly similar teams. I don't think anyone predicted a 3-0 sweep by either team.

 

I would also add that if the supposed best team in the 10th region can't hold a 13-2 lead in a set, then I would say the 10th region is wide open and up for grabs this year.

Couldn't agree more. Congrats to NCC for taking care of buisness. They seem like a well rounded team. The camels better figure something out quickly and start playing and communicating as a team. They are not going to hand you the 10th region championship, your going to have to dig in and earn it, from top to bottom. If they keep this up they will be lucky to get out of the district.
