Hurons host RCHS Invitational volleyball tournament Saturday
The Huron varsity volleyball team will host the annual Rogers City High School Invitational this Saturday with the first matches beginning at 8:30 a.m. The tourney will continue throughout the day with 10 teams expected to make a showing. Teams scheduled for play include Rogers City, Oscoda, Cedarville, Forest Area, Gaylord, Petoskey, Alpena, Harbor Light Christian, Inland Lakes, and Montague. Two pools of five teams will be played with two 21-point rally score games with a 25-point cap.
The top three teams in each pool and the best fourth place team will advance to bracket play. Playoffs will be the best two out of three 15-point games with a 17-point cap. The third game will be rally score, no cap. Concessions will be available, but no food or drink is allowed in the gym. Last year?s tourney went to Alpena with Rogers City dominating in the pool play, losing only one game to Gaylord.
The Hurons were eliminated last year in the semi-championship match by the New Lothrop Hornets. This is another year with new hopes, and the Hurons are coming off a weather-forced layoff with only Thursday?s (tonight) match against Cheboygan as a warmup. Fans are encouraged to attend the day-long event or at least drop in to see how it?s going and cheer the home team on to victory. The cost is $4 to attend the all-day long games.
The Hurons will resume regular play Monday when they host Inland Lakes and Onaway.
