9:55 PM – And by the narrowest of margins, Rogersville falls to the third place game tomorrow.  Needing not only to win both of their sets, but also have O’Hara win both of theirs, the champs held up their end of the deal.  Sweeping Villa Duchesne 25-11, 25-20.  And Rogersville fought like champions as they rallied from a 21-19 deficit to win their first set 29-27.  The second set was another nail biter as the two team were never separated by more than 4 points.  Rogersville trailed 13-9 but closed the gap & tied numerous times even grabbing a lead at 20-19.  But ND would fend them off, retake the lead, and the Wildcats couldn’t get over the hump as they were finally closed out 26-24.  Great effort from Rogersville, but they’ll have to settle for a rematch with Notre Dame tomorrow in the 3rd place game.

8:55 PM – Now to catch up on Rogersville who is playing their last match right now.  Their evening started off rougher as the defending state champs, KC O’Hara, swept them 25-16, 25-14.  Their second match fortunes were better as the fought their way to a split with Villa Duchesne.  They dropped their first set 25-16 before finally getting a win 25-19 in the second.  At 1-3, the Lady Wildcats still have a shot to make the finals.  Villa stands at 2-2 and is playing O’Hara right now.  Rogersville is taking on 0-4 Cape Girardeau Notre Dame.  If they can win both sets and O’Hara sweeps Villa, they make the final.  I’ll update you soon.
