Couriers split with Blazers, Flames in Ohio

PLAIN CITY, OHIO (Saturday, September 29, 2007) - In their first trip to Shekinah Christian School near Columbus Ohio in three or four years, the Couriers won one match and lost another in a three-way match of Mennonite schools.

In a best-of-three format, the Couriers easily beat Faith Christian Academy of Wilmot, Ohio (near Sugarcreek) 25-12 in their first game. The Blazers won a close second game 25-23 and led 13-6 midway through the third game before the Couriers rallied to eke out a 26-24 clincher.

The Couriers fell behind 7-1 against Shekinah but went on to a 25-21 win in the first game. Playing from as much as ten points behind in each of the last two games, the Couriers were unable to catch up and dropped both games, and the match, by 25-17 counts.

Faith downed Shekinah in two games to begin the day. Each team enjoyed their high points and low points but a number of fans enjoyed renewing acquaintances and making new friends while enjoying three exciting volleyball matches.

Coach Yousey's Couriers (21-4) visit the Community Baptist Cougars in South Bend Tuesday after junior high and junior varsity contests.
