Ladynecks Quest For State Ends In 3-1 Loss To Centerville

White Oak volleyball squad drops a heart breaker in Regional play.

Tyler - They left it all on the floor, but it wasn't enough to overcome a vertically impressive Centerville Lady Tiger team.

The Ladynecks looked good in the first game, handling Centerville's hitters like old pros, and winning 25-18.

Centerville caught another gear and hit stride in the second, and the lead changed hands several times before the Tigers pulled away late, talking the game 25-22.

The third game was a battle of wills, with the score ratcheting up past the usual 25 point win to end up 32-30 in the Tigers favor. Strain began to show in White Oak's serving, as they lost several game point chances by serving into the net. Centerville seized each one to close the gap.

White Oak kept the fourth and final game close, but the height advantage and aggressive hitting of Centerville was enough to seal the deal, and the Tigers won 25-23.
