The Hillsboro High volleyball team split its home matches last Tuesday, Sept. 22, in Brown Gym?nasium.
Looking out of sync against a scrappy Smoky Valley squad, the Trojans dropped the opening match of the evening in the minimum two games, 25-17, 25-22.
Contributing to the loss were several errant serves.
It was the second time this season the Trojans have lost to the Vikings, who came into the evening with an 8-6 record. The previous loss came in the semifinals of the league preseason tournament on late August.
After Halstead (6-12) defeated the Vikings 28-26, 18-25, 25-21 in the second match of the evening, Hillsboro regained its stride by sweeping the Dragons 25-20, 25-20 in the finale.
The split put Hillsboro?s season record at 11-5 overall and 6-2 in the league.
Coming?After competing in its second straight home triangular Tuesday, Sept. 29, against Hoisington (12-4, 5-1) and Haven (1-5, 5-11), Hillsboro will play its first weekend tournament of the season on Saturday hosted by Canton-Galva. Pool play begins at 9 a.m.
The Trojans will follow that with a triangular at Marion on Tuesday, Oct. 6. Those matches begin at 5 p.m.
