On to Osseo… bring on Regis

Well it is going to be a good one in the Sectional Final game hosted by Osseo Fairchild. Grantsburg will lock horns with Eau Claire Regis who won tonight over Melrose-Mindoro 3-0.

Tonight’s match was very, very good and although Grantsburg won 3-0 it really could have been closer than that as you can tell by the finals of each set (25-22, 25-21, 25-22). The difference between the Pirates winning instead of the Castle Guards this year was finding a way to finish.

We saw Grantsburg come from behind in the third set of the Regional championship game against Colfax and they had to do it again tonight coming from behind in the first and third sets.

Grantsburg and Sheboygan Lutheran are the only two teams left in the state which haven’t suffered a loss. I’m not sure what Sheboygan Lutheran’s set record is, but Grantsburg still only has on set loss all year.

The Sectional Final match will be broadcast on 105.7, WXCX at 7 pm.

By the way… second place finishers in the Large Lakeland conference, the Clayton Bears, are still alive in division 4 volleyball. They defeated 3-1 and move on to the sectional final match versus Mellen. Oh, and the match will be played in Clayton. Congratulations, Bears!
