"They're a good team and we're a good team but they played the game on both sides of the net," he said. This is a team that has left its mark on the Barnstable volleyball program."Īnd while the play of Barnstable's front line players was again exceptional, it was defensive prowess displayed by the Red Raiders' back line that was the difference in the match, something that was not lost on Central Catholic coach Gannon Paris. "How they played this match today, flying all over the floor, diving over chairs, that's how they practiced every day. "I can't say enough good things about this team," said BHS coach Tom Turco. Unfortunately for Central Catholic, they found out that when it comes to state championships and happy endings, the Red Raiders wrote the book. The CC Raiders gave a very good accounting of themselves and, for a very brief period of time, even looked like they might have what it took to make their third trip to the D1 finals a story with a happy ending. The Red Raiders, who lost just four games all season long, added this one to their shutout total by registering the 25-12, 27-25,25-14 victories.Ĭentral Catholic earned the right to be on the other side of the net from the Red Raiders by defeating both Andover and Lincoln-Sudbury, two teams that fell to Barnstable in its run to the 2010 title, only to find out, as did both sets of Warriors last season, that being there and being able to do something with the chance are two completely different things. The North Sectional champion CC Raiders were probably the best team the Red Raiders had faced all season but in the end, even Central Catholic's best was no where near enough to keep the Barnstable girls from running their record to 23-0 and becoming the first undefeated Division 1 state champions since 2006. The target the Barnstable High girls volleyball team wore on its back all season long as the reigning Division 1 state champion was proven to be nothing more than a fashion accessory after the Red Raiders claimed their second straight and 14th overall D1 title with a 3-0 win over Central Catholic last Saturday in Northborough.
