Brief report - Late Night with Pagid LetterMan 11 PM

Congratulations to Ravenwood (#1) and Independence (#2) as winners in District 11AAA.

 

When was the last time that Brentwood wasn't representing their District (minus the year they were disqualified)? I don't know much about the district but was this a big upset? Sounded like a marathon match with Independence coming out on top 3 games to 2.

Semi-Finals:

 

Ravenwood 3, Hillsboro 0 (25-8, 25-22, 25-18)

Independence 3, Brentwood 2 (20-25, 18-25, 25-22, 25-22, 15-4)

 

Independence had a great comeback after being down 2 games, but they held on and played great defense to win the match. I can't remember when Brentwood didn't advance except for the year they used an ineligible player in the district tournament.

 

Championship:

 

Ravenwood 3, Independence 1 (25-19, 13-25, 25-17, 25-12)

 

Meredith Richardson was named Tournament MVP as she had several good blocks.

Madelyn Hutson was named Regular Season MVP for her hard kills.

 

I'll post the All-District and All-Tournament teams tomorrow.

I talked briefly with Ravenwood Coach Tracey Berry after the match and she said that the Regional would be held at Ravenwood next Tuesday with opponents of Antioch and Glencliff facing Ravenwood and Independence. Not sure who plays who at this point.

 

Congratulations to all the players and coaches above and good luck to Ravenwood and Independence as they move on the road to the State Tournament.

 

I know the Brentwood supporters were disappointed that the Lady Bruins did not advance, but they have no seniors so they should be back with a strong team for next year.

I believe that Ravenwood (#1 11AAA) will face Antioch (#2 Dist 12AAA) and Independence (#2 11AAA) will face Glencliff (#1 12AAA).
