Area teams go down swinging

Bureau Valley, Hall, DePue and St. Bede all saw the curtain drawn on their volleyball seasons in regional play this week.

At St. Bede: The Lady Bruins advanced to the regional semifinals Tuesday, bowing out with 25-16, 25-14 losses to top-seeded Fieldcrest. St. Bede coach Dawn Williams said it was sad to see the season end “just when my team was finally playing the way I believed they could all along.

“We had a lot of solid plays and long rallies, but Fieldcrest did a good job stretching out points at two spots in each game. We competed and battled but came up short,” Williams added. “It’s always sad that the season has to end with a loss. I’ve enjoyed returning to coaching and very much enjoyed working with this team. They improved tremendously this season, and it’s hard to see it end.”
