Trenton Gets Past South Harrison In District Semifinals
For the second time in as many years, and the second time in program history, the Trenton High School volleyball team will play for a district championship.
On Saturday in St. Joseph, Trenton defeated South Harrison in Class 2, District 16 semifinal action, 28-30, 25-13, 25-22, 26-24.
South Harrison was flirting with an upset after coming out on top in a wild first set, 30-28. Trenton couldn’t have responded any better, however, rolling over the Purple and White Bulldogs 25-13 in the second set. Trenton would take care of business the rest of the way, despite a close call in the final set to reach the district championship game.
Ava Simpson tallied 26 assists, tying the school record she set earlier in the season. She also had two aces and two kills.
Ally Yoder collected 13 kills and two aces and Juliet Schmadeke finished with 12 digs, five kills and two aces.
Trenton had a tall test in top-seeded LeBlond in Monday’s district championship game. The Golden Eagles defeated Trenton 25-2, 25-6, 25-8 back on Oct. 12.
“It was great to get a district win,” Trenton head coach Brad Ewald said. “The goal all year has been to win a district championship. Now that we got ourselves to the championship, we are going to need to sharpen up a little and play with some heart to beat LeBlond. However, that’s the stage we want to play on, and hopefully we’ll make it a fun night of volleyball.”
