Roundup

No. 4 Morgan got revenge on last years 3A championship game with a narrow 25-22, 22-25, 27-29, 25-19, 15-12 five-set thiller over defending champion No. 5 Emery. "We knew they were going to be good," said Morgan head coach Liz Wiscombe. "(Emery) is really gutty group. I thought they played defense like crazy, and they didn't let a darn thing drop. Hats off to them, they played hard, but our kids didn't quit. I'm so proud of them. They could have quit it a couple of times and they did not." Morgan got the best of Emery in the fifth set, but quickly found itself in a 2-1 deficit after dropping the second and third sets to Emery. However, the Trojans bounced back with a more convincing 25-19 fourth set win and a 15-12 fifth set win to advance to the 3A semifinals. "I told them, 'It's got to come from you. We can't do it as coaches, you've got to do it.' and thats excatley what they did," said Wiscombe. Trojans' senior setter Emma Thurston had a strong game with well placed sets while middle blocker Josilyn Jaffa also impacted the quarterfinal game on the net.
