Division II Volleyball District Semifinals
By Gary R. Rasberry
BLUFFTON - The Battle of Grand Lake will happen again an hour up the road after Celina and St. Marys won their Division II district volleyball semifinal matches on Tuesday at the Sommer Center on the campus of Bluffton University.
Celina's trek to the district final was shaky after a dominating 25-9 first set win over Wapakoneta. The Redskins won the second set 25-22 and gave the Bulldogs fits over the final two sets before Celina moved on with wins of 25-20 and 25-23. [More]
