Alex Anderson recorded 12 kills, and was at his best in the final, deciding set as Timberlane squeeked past Masenic 25-8, 19-25, 25-27, 25-9, 18-16. Conor Dube notched a team-high 40 assists and Tommy Paoletta stood out on defense for the winners.

Mascenic may be improved over previous years but Pinkerton had an answer for everything thrown at it in a 25-23, 25-21, 25-15 victory. Steve Curry's blocking skills and 18 service points were crucial as was Danny Goodwin's strong net play for the Astros, now 7-2.

Nicole Gianakakis scored four goals in Sanborn Regional's 7-0 win over Mascenic. Sanborn improved to 4-2, while Mascenic fell to 0-6.

Sophomore Joe Gallant continued his varsity volleyball coming-out party with 15 kills and eight blocks as Salem improved to 7-0 with a demolition of Mascenic.

Mascenic's defensive shell kept Sanborn's boys soccer team off the scoreboard until midway through the second half, but that's when Logen Johnson broke loose.

A flick header by Johnson off Eric Sands' accurate feed drew the Indians even, 1-1, and changed the game's momentum. Five minutes later, Johnson grabbed the rebound of Rob Palumbo's low blast and poked it in the net for the game-winner. Insurance came after Mascenic's comeback was denied by a goal post with Johnson getting his natural hat trick on an 18-yard score.

Sanborn Regional made it two straight wins for the first time since the 2002-03 season. And the Indians did it in style. Fresh off a win over Hillsboro, Sanborn made previously unbeaten Mascenic its second victim, 60-50, behind a huge night from Robby Ficker.
