 A great volleyball matchup taking place tonight, Bemidji versus Park Rapids. Bemidji coming in at seven and eight looking to get some momentum, heading into the end of the season and Park Rapids at 11 and four. Well they were a game away from state last year and this year they look just as dangerous. It looked like a good matchup on paper and it did not disappoint a good crowd on hand. In the first set Rapids jumps out to a six to nothing lead Bemidji on the attack with a block by Riley Michelson to make it 7-0. On the offensive side Michelson just as dangerous. Caitlyn Weaver with the set she puts it down for the kill. They go up eight to one. Bemidji trying to fight back now Emma Muller serving tough to handle over the network. Rumor of flatness is there to send it back. Still in the first 12-7 Panthers the blockers in the right spot but Kayza Coburn goes around them for the kill. Bemidji staying close, McCare Matthews with the back set to flatness for the slide kill. When in the first set Park Rapids was just too much to handle. Coburn with the kill right here to finish off this one. This one was back and forth close sets all match long. Park Rapids ends up pulling out the win in the fifth set 15 to 10.
