Volleyball

South Brunswick 3,

C.B. Aycock 1

* SOUTHPORT -- Charles B. Aycock overcame a slow first set but couldn't keep the momentum going in a 25-9, 20-25, 25-18, 25-19 loss on Tuesday evening at South Brunswick in the second round of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association 3-A state playoffs.

It was the final game for Golden Falcons' seniors Connor Davis, Brooke Bell and Rachel Jordan. Madison Mercer supplied eight kills and Meredith Burroughs had six kills.

"We never gave up," Aycock head coach Davis Harris said. "We came out slow and I don't know why. South Brunswick did a great job of placing the ball. When we would adjust they would go somewhere else. They are very well coached. They're not overpowering but they know where to go with the ball."

The Golden Falcons finished the season with a record of 16-6.

The Eagles traied 11-6 in the fifth set and closed to within 13-12 but were unable to complete the comeback. Anna Ingram provided 10 blocks, three kills and three digs. Ellen Morgan supplied 11 blocks, six kills and four digs. Megann Tyndall handed out 10 assists. Kerri Jo Gurley had seven kills and Crystal Allen added eight blocks and six kills.

Grace Delbridge and Kristina Childre each recorded a singles point for the Warriors. The doubles team of Delbridge-Blake Govan also prevailed.

"This was a great high school match with two teams battling it out," Eastern Wayne head coach Craig Hassell said. "At No. 2, 5 and 6 singles the matches could have gone either way. I'm extremely proud of the competitive nature of our team and they have been a pleasure to coach."
