It’s not all Ellen Chapman. But she sure helps.
Glenbrook South’s Chapman had nine kills in the first game and none in the second Saturday against Lake Zurich in the Class 4A supersectional in Libertyville.
But the Titans did not need their 6-foot-4 junior star in Game 2, using their defense and strong serving to defeat the Bears 25-16, 25-15 and earn a berth in Friday’s semifinals in Bloomington.
The Joliet Catholic volleyball team will be running a mile Monday, but at least it will be taking a bus for the 90-mile trip to Bloomington later in the week.
Alyssa Warren had 11 kills and an ace and Lainey Wyman added five kills and four blocks as the No. 1-ranked Angels (39-1) defeated Oak Forest 25-17, 25-9 in the Class 3A supersectional Saturday at Oswego.
Lyons stood tall over Mother McAuley, especially at the end of both games in a 26-24, 25-22 victory in the Mother McAuley Supersectional that advances the Lions to the Class 4A semifinals at Illinois State University in Normal.
Who'll stop the reign?
That's the toughest question to answer after watching defending Class 1A state volleyball champ Lanark Eastland live up to its billing by dispatching Newark Saturday night 25-9, 25-11. Winning the South Beloit Super-Sectional sends the Cougars back to the Final Four at Illinois State University next weekend.
Quincy ended Benet’s bid for a second consecutive semifinal appearance, 25-23, 26-24, in a Class 4A supersectional Saturday at Normal. Sierra Young had 10 kills, Gina Finke added eight kills and Brianne Riley had 12 digs for Benet (35-5).
