Roadrunners Take WCV in Four Games

It took a mighty effort by the West Central Valley Wildcats to come into a rowdy Interstate gym and compete, but after four hard-fought games the Roadrunners came out with a victory. The home team Roadrunners were already up a solid two games when the scrappy Wildcats came back in the third game down eight points at one juncture in the game. As the cheering section full of spandex and random food costumes maintained their school spirited frenzy, two sport athlete Rachel Wiggins sent a crashing right-handed strike that looked like it would turn the tide in favor of the Roadrunners. However, the visiting team had different plans and the Wildcats held the momentum and eventually the third game 25-17.

After spotting the Wildcats four points in the second elimination game, the Interstate rally rake was again out to even the score. The two teams then began to battle point for point with neither gaining more than a four point advantage. At the score of 23 to 21 in favor of Interstate, it looked like the red, white, and blue blockers had buried the strong WCV spike and the match. However, another strong effort and a miscommunication on the side of the Roadrunners evened the score again at 24. The lead was taken, given back, then taken back again until senior Kate Bobst smashed a game and match winning ace across the gym from a very happy student cheering section.
