Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs beat 2A Petrolia at home Saturday morning in a match that went to five sets.
It was a game of many ups and downs for the Lady Bulldogs, culminating with a fifth set that could have gone either way.
The 2A Lady Pirates came in with all the confidence being the bigger team from the bigger school. They showed it in the first set, winning with little trouble with the score 25-14.
Prairie Valley settled down after that and played well in the second and third set. It was more competitive than the first set, but the Lady Bulldogs won both with scores 25-21 and 25-20 to take the lead.
The fourth set Prairie Valley fell behind due to some bad passing and never recovered. Petrolia won the set easily 25-11 and the Lady Bulldogs knew they had to shake off the sting from that set if they wanted to win the fifth and final set.
Neither team could pull ahead of the other by much. It required some extra points since the winning team had to be ahead by two points, but in the end Prairie Valley pulled it out 17-15 to win the match 3-2.
The team will need all of the good momentum it can get as it next faces district favorite Bryson.
The game is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Oct. 17 at Bryson.
