"After the loss in the semi-final match, we were paired against Golden Plains for the consolation match. With this being the 8th match (and 23rd set) of the week, some minor fatigue issues did show up. However, I saw an exciting side of our team as they stayed calm and confident in a very competitive 3rd and deciding match. With the win, the Logan Trojans finished with the 3rd place title. Northern Valley won the tournament and Wheatland/Grinnell finished in 2nd," said head coach Robin Van Laeys.
