With early-morning matches, playing multiple matches a day and the matches being just three sets, the conditions can be ripe for upsets and we had more than our share yesterday, including the top-ranked teams in Class C1 and C2 getting blindsided.
Starting in Seward, unranked Broken Bow shocked two-time defending Class C1 champion and the top-ranked team in C1 – Wahoo – in the semifinals with a 25-22, 32-30 victory. Majesta Valasek led Broken Bow with 11 kills, Kailyn Scott had 21 assists and Kya Scott had 13 digs.
For Wahoo, Mya Larson had 20 kills and Elle Glock had 30 assists and three blocks while Kendal Brigham had nine digs.
Wahoo bounced back to defeat Wayne 25-19, 25-17 in the third-place match while Lincoln Lutheran held off Broken Bow 28-26, 25-15 in the championship match.
Another top-ranked team went down on Saturday as Class C2 Hastings St. Cecilia was upset by unranked Fillmore Central 11-25, 25-22, 25-16 in the championship of the Fillmore Central Invitational.
