It was a volleyball match that had it all. A #2 ranked private school who hadn't lost a game to a public school ever versus the highest ranked public school with one of the craziest student section turnouts of the year. This included 2 separate body painting jobs, a school wide T-shirt campaign, and the attention of almost a third of the student body. After all the hype put into the match, and rightfully so, the Devils simply couldn't get the needed breaks to stay in the match.
Our Lady of Mercy High School silenced the crowd early by winning two challenging sets. After that, HC sturggled to keep pace, and Mercy ran away with the third set, sweeping the Devils 3-0.
This goes down as the Devils' 7th loss of the season. Their 28-7 record is the best in the region with two games to play.
HC is home against North Oldham on October 4, and on the road at St. Henry on October 6. After that, the battle to make another state tournament begins.
