Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley defeated Brandon-Evansville in 4 sets (25-21, 25-18, 10-25, 25-15) on Friday night.

“Tonight we knew coming in that CGB was going to be tough,” said Brandon-Evansville Head Coach Kelly Olson. “They are tall and athletic and are solid all the way around. Our plan was to try to exploit a few things that we saw in their play.  At times we did a great job of that. I thought we played hard all 4 sets and did have a mindset that would keep us competitive all match.  I think we lost focus too much and dug ourselves too big of a hole those three sets we lost. Sets one and two were good side out volleyball. CGB got on the top of the scoreboard and we couldn’t make enough of a push to close the gap. Set three and four were a different story with each team cruising to a set victory.  It was fun to compete. We will make a few more adjustments and see what happens next week.”
