MITCHELL - The Mitchell volleyball team equaled last year's win total, picking up its 21st and 22nd victories of the season in impressive fashion in the Mitchell Triangular on Tuesday evening.

The Tigers took care of Creek Valley in the opener 25-18, 25-13 behind a double-double from senior Andee Grentz, who had 13 kills and 10 digs. Mitchell then went on to dispose of Bayard 25-10, 25-9 behind Nicole Houston's 13 points and seven aces.

Papillion-LaVista South was pushed to the brink of its first loss against St. James Academy in Lenexa, Kan. but survived. Columbus Scotus in C1 also was pushed but remained unbeaten. Lutheran High Northeast in C2 wasn't so lucky as Guardina Angels took down C2's last unbeaten. Paxton and Hitchcock County still are perfect in D1 but could face each other at the conference tournament. Check out all the new NebVolleyball/Jones Insurance Agency, Inc.
