Greenwood and Mooresville advanced to second round sectional action while four other Mid-State teams saw their seasons end this week. One of those, Plainfield, fell in heartbreaking fashion.

 

Greenwood was the executioner for conference rival Whiteland at Perry Meridian. The Woodmen downed the Warriors in three games Tuesday evening. The first game was a 25-21 battle, but Greenwood eventually proved dominant, winning the last two games 25-9 and 25-17. Also at Perry, Franklin fell to the host, and powerful, Falcons Thursday evening in three games 25-21, 25-15, and 25-11.

 

Mid-State schools split in two classic five game matches at the Terre Haute site. Mooresville downed Terre Haute North 19-25, 25-21, 12-25, 25-19, 15-10. Plainfield was not as fortunate, dropping a gut wrenching decision to Northview. The Quakers fell 25-17, 15-25, 25-23, 23-25, 12-15. Count that up folks and you will find it is a five point difference after five games and nearly two hours of heated competitio..

 

Decatur Central had the unenviable task of facing #2 ranked Avon at Brownsburg’s sectional. The Hawks proved no match for the tall and talented Orioles who prevailed in three games 25-5, 25-12, and 25-11. Martinsville drew a bye into the semi-finals at Terre Haute. The Artesians are one of the favorites at that site.
