Juneau-Douglas High School senior Leah Spargo had her best game since injuring her ankle in last month\u2019s J.I.V.E. tournament as JDHS defeated TMHS 3-0 (25-16, 25-21, 25-15) Friday night in Ketchikan.<\/p>\n
It was the second match of the Region V Tournament that ended on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Spargo completed eight kills and 15 digs while Cassie Dzinich cashed in on 15 kills and 15 digs.<\/p>\n
The Falcons led during just two brief moments in the entire game. After losing the first set, Maxie Saceda-Hurt scored the go-ahead point to break a 2-2 tie in the second set. JDHS immediately tied the game. The Falcons furnished a 7-6 lead shortly after, but again the Crimson Bears immediately snuffed out the TMHS lead. After trading several points with the Falcons, the Crimson Bears went on a 9-2 run to take control of the game and go up 2-0 in sets.<\/p>\n
The Friday before the match, the Crimson Bears put the Falcons in a 2-0 jam before losing three in a row before their home fans. This time though, JDHS wouldn\u2019t let the lead slip away. The Crimson Bears squeezed the life from their crosstown opponent by going on a 10-1 run to open the third set.<\/p>\n
TMHS went on to beat Ketchikan High School 3-0 this morning (25-3, 25-9, 25-9) to head to a 2 p.m. Region V final against JDHS. TMHS has never won the Region V title.<\/p>\n
Since JDHS is undefeated heading into the title game, meaning TMHS will need to win both a best of five match and a 30-point overtime match to secure their first title. JDHS needs only to win the 2 p.m. best of five match.<\/p>\n
Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the match between JDHS and TMHS was the first match of the Region V Tournament. It was the second match in the Region V Tournament.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2022 Contact sports reporter Nolin Ainsworth at 523-2272 or nolin.ainsworth@juneauempire.com.<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Juneau-Douglas High School senior Leah Spargo had her best game since injuring her ankle in last month\u2019s J.I.V.E. tournament as JDHS defeated TMHS 3-0 (25-16, 25-21, 25-15) Friday night in Ketchikan.
