 Well, state volleyball is here. Flans will flood the XL Energy Center the next few days in hopes of cheering on their team, winning a championship for Wadena Deer Creek. Expectations are high, entering the quarterfinals. They're the fourth seed in Class A, opening up with the fifth seeded Aida Bourb, Norman County West. Early first set, Aida serving, but it's Lilla Lowmiller to Ashley Adams. Then Kennedy Grayville for the set and kill. That gives them the early lead, then later it's Adams again. First with the block, then the easy drop for the point. A stat sheet, stuffer. Wolverines are rolling, then a little defense at the net. Kylie Hop goes up and gets this one for the easy Wadena point. Then ahead to the third set, Kasey Volkman to Ashley Adams. To Ellie Mirren for the strike and slam. Wolverines can smell the semifinals, then later the nail in the coffin. Both Adams and Grayville go up for the block and it's a party at the net. Wadena wins in three straight to advance. Here they were after the win. Well, it's kind of a wrench factor because you know we had lost to Aida in a tournament earlier in the year. So we really wanted to come out. We knew that we could play with them. And I think by winning those first two games, I mean it was huge on our part. We got a little shaken in the third, but held on. I don't know about the rest of them, but I was just more excited to be here than nervous. So that helped me just looking forward to the game. I was excited and ready to play rather than being scared. And we changed our defense a little bit. To the last time we played them, they scored point after point on tips. So we adjust our defense to be able to pick that up. And they really didn't score any tips. So that helped us. Next up, the semifinals tomorrow afternoon, the Wolverines will play top seeded mayor Lutheran at one PM.
