Emeralds Top Broncos As Volleyball Playoffs Begin
HARRIS---The Manistique Emeralds opened the volleyball post-season Monday with a 3-0 win over the Bark River-Harris Broncos in the Division Three district tournament. The scores were 25-10, 25-19, 25-22. "This feels amazing for us to start off our post-season with a win," Manistique Coach Amy Nixon said. "We were making really good passes, and that allowed our hitters to just do their thing. We're a really good-hitting team, so as long as our passing is on point, our hitters can do their thing." Manistique will face Westwood in the district semifinals on Wednesday. In the other D-3 opener Monday night, Gwinn defeated Ishpeming, 3-1. The Model Towners will face Negaunee in the district semifinals on Wednesday. MONDAY PLAYOFF SCOREBOARD Houghton 3, Menoninee 0 Sault Ste.
