IHSA REGIONAL SEMIFINAL AT GRANITE CITY
EDWARDSVILLE 25-25, FATHER MCGIVNEY CATHOLIC 21-18: In the IHSA regional semifinals at Granite City’s Memorial Gym, McGivney gave Edwardsville a very hard-fought battle before the Tigers won and advanced to the regional final on Tuesday evening.
In a see-saw first game, Jacob Jones gave the Griffins a 17-16 lead on a kill, but Edwardsville then fought back to tie the game at 21-21 before scoring the final four points, ending the game on a Sam Stearns kill. In the second game, McGivney was to within 19-17, but the Tigers scored six of the final seven points to take the game and the match.
Max Sellers led Edwardsville with nine kills, with Josh Whittenburg and Stearns adding six and five kills each, Brock Hennig and Preston Weaver had 11 assists each, Henry Hupp came up with 13 digs, and Hupp and Daniel Pauk each had two service aces. D.J. Villhard and Jones had 10 digs each for the Griffins, Kraus had three kills while Villhard had two, Caleb Tanyzyus had three blocks, and Josh Jamruk had five assists and a service ace.
The Tigers are now 18-8 on the year, and face Belleville East, a 25-21, 25-23 winner over the host Warriors, in the final on Wednesday at 6 p.m. The Griffins finish their first season 6-11.
