It's been a long seven years since the last time it happened. It was in 2003 that a Wellsville Volleyball team last played in the sectional final for the championship. All that will change tonight when the Lady Tigers take on the Columbiana Lady Clippers for the Div. IV ITCL Sectional championship. It's set to begin at 7 P.M. in Lisbon's Gym A. It's a rare all county final considering all the schools up north in the ITCL.
Wellsville won the right to play in tonight's championship match by defeating Jackson Milton this past Tuesday in the lower tier semi-final. During the regular season they split with Jackson Milton. In their first match of the season the Lady Tigers defeated them on the Lady Jay's home court only to drop the second one in the Tiger's Den. Tuesday night they won the rubber match 3-1.
The Orange & Black team started out slow in Tuesday's match and were down by 10 at one point in the first set. According to the newspapers the Lady Tigers reeled off six straight points before dropping that first set 20-25. Then they poured it on taking three straight to get their tickets punched to move on to tonight's match.
The Columbiana team defeated Lordstown in Tuesday's upper tier semi-final. For the year they are 16-7.
Wellsville has seen the Lady Clippers already this year in a preseason scrimmage. Wellsville lost that scrimmage 2-1. Tonight they are going to even things up. For the season Wellsville is 18&7.
Good Luck Ladies... You got to this point playing one match at a time. Relax and play your game. We think you're the best and all of Wellsville is pulling for you. We're certainly proud of all of you.
