Menchville Monarchs – PenSouth Conference 10 Champions
The Menchville Girl’s Volleyball Team was unable to topple first seed and undefeated Warwick in the Conference Tournament Thursday night. They lost 3-0. Despite the loss, there are still reasons to celebrate. Siena Naotala and Lexie Hendricks were named to the All-Conference team. The team also advances to the Regional Tournament. They play Princess Anne High School on Monday at 5:00 at Princess Anne.
The Boy’s Volleyball Team rallied in the the 5th game to beat Gloucester 3-2 and win the PenSouth Conference 10 Volleyball Title. Menchville won the first set 25-17. Gloucester took an early lead in the game, but the Monarchs, after tying the game 4 different times, finally moved ahead on a point made by Noah Webster. They didn’t look back at that point – keeping the lead for the win.
Game 2 was a bit tighter, as both teams fought hard and volleyed well but Menchville finished with a 25-21 edge. The third game saw Gloucester jump to an early lead (at one point scoring 7 straight points) they held for a 25-18 win. Gloucester also managed to retain control of an exciting 4th game, winning 26-28.
In the final game, the Monarchs dug themselves into a hole that they slowly climbed out of. The Monarchs were down 7-13, Gloucester was within 3 points of winning the championship, when they rallied with 6 points to tie the game 13-13 and pull ahead for the 16-14 win.
Brandon Mueller, Noah Webster and Lucas Gray were named to the All-Conference team and Gray was announced as the PenSouth Conference 10 Volleyball Player of the Year.
The Monarch’s advance to Regionals and will play Princess Ann at 5:00 Monday at Green Run High School.
