ARAPAHOE - There was little that was aestheticallypleasing about Friday night’s second round playoff bout between Arapahoe and Ravenna. But when it comes to playoff football, they don’t ask you how you did it, only if you did it.

SHICKLEY - The Southern Valley volleyball team battled against one of the State's top teams in its class, but ultimately came up short and saw its season come to a close in a 25-20, 25-19, 17-25, 25-23 defeat to fourth-seeded Bruning-Davenport-Shickley in the district finals Saturday.

In the fifth, Plainview scored the first four points of the set and the pressure was mounting for the Roughriders to respond. Southwest did just that, surging in front with a 10-4 run to lead 10-8.

BARTLEY - After a backand- forth first half left the Southwest football team with a 27-21 lead at the break, the Stuart Broncos outscored the Roughriders, 29-6, in the second half to roll away to a 50-33 win that ended Southwest’s season.

BARTLEY - The Maywood- Hayes Center volleyball team grabbed its 15th win in Monday’s subdistrict opener, but saw its season come to a close in the finals against host Southwest on Tuesday. The Wolves had battled to defeat Brady in two previous meetings this season, but rolled to victory Monday, sweeping the Eagles with a 2517, 25-22, 25-16 victory.

BARTLEY - The Hi-Line volleyball team picked up its sixth win of the season, taking its subdistrict opener in straight-sets over Sandhills Valley Monday before falling in the second round of subdistricts against top-seeded Southwest.

SOUTHERN VALLEY The Southern Valley volleyball team needed just seven sets to get its way through two wins and take the Subdistrict D1-10 Title. The Eagles took down Alma in four Monday night and swept past Loomis Tuesday to improve to 19-9 and advance to Saturday’s district championship, presumably at Bruning-Davenport-Shickley, although official pairings won’t be available until Thursday.

WALLACE - After a busy and exhilirating night Monday, the Medicine Valley volleyball team saw its season come to a close Tuesday in the subdistrict finals against Wauneta-Palisade. The fourth-seeded Raiders (13-17) had knocked off both fifth-seeded Dundy County-Stratton (0-31) and top-seeded RPAC Runner-Up Wallace (264) Monday night and started fast against the Broncos (15-15) winning the first set by six.

OVERTON - Could we see that again? The top two teams in Class D2, both in the State ratings and the NSAA point standings, squared off in the Subditrict D2-7 Title match Tuesday and it did not disappoint. Top-seeded Overton rallied after a sleepy start to wins sets two and three, but Cambridge - which hadn’t won a five-set match since 2017 - came back in the fourth, then dominated the fifth for a 25-23, 15-25, 22-25, 25-23, 15-8 victory over the Eagles, improving to 25-4 this season while Overton fell to 28-3.

EUSTIS - The third-seeded Hi-Line football team did a lot of the things a higher seed is supposed to do in taking down a lower-seeded, firstround opponent. The Bulls jumped on the visting Summerland Bobcats in the first half and enjoyed a 32-14 lead at the break.
