I have some detail from the Brook East tournament.
The format was interesting, all four teams in a pool played at the same time, so for the last round, you saw teams “running up” the score in case they needed point differential for a tie breaker.
Round 1 went as follows: Pool A Middleton beat BEast 25-21 25-21, Kimberly beat Muskego 25-20, 25-18 Pool B Germantown used some of their bench and beat Kettle Moraine 25-16 25-18, Appleton North beat Nicolet 25-12 25-13 Pool C MUHS played some less experienced players in the first set and split with New Berlin 18-25, 25-18, Kaukauna beat Pius 25-19, 25-22 Pool D CMH beat Franklin 25-26, 25-20, Tosa East split with Arrowhead 25-17, 23-25
Round 2: Beast beat Muskego 25-19, 25-21, Kimberly beat Middleton 27-26, 25-19 Pool B Germantown used their bench and beat Nicolet 26-24, 25-13, Appleton North beat KM 25-19,-25-18 Pool C MUHS split with Kaukauna, 25-20, 24-26, NB beat Pius 25-21, 25-17 Pool D CMH split with Tosa East 25-21, 21-25, Arrowhead split with Franklin 24-26, 25-23
Round 3: Kimberly came from down 22-17 and won the first set vs BEast 27-26 and then the BE bench beat the K bench 25-16, Middleton beat Muskego 25-17, 25-20. Pool B Appleton North “beat” Germantown on point differential even though they split sets 25-18, 19-25 putting A North in 1st in the pool. KM beat Nicolet 25-20, 25-20 Pool C MU ran up the score on Pius because if New Berlin had managed to take a game off Kaukauna all three teams would have been 4-2. Kaukauna beat New Berlin 25-14, 25-12 taking first in the pool. Pool D CMH beat Arrowhead 25-10, 25-15, Tosa East Split with Franklin 25-21, 26-27
Pool A Kimberly 5-1, Middleton 4-2, BEast 3-3, Muskego 0-6 Pool B Appleton North 5-1, Germantown 5-1, KM 2-4, Nicolet 0-6, Pool C Kaukauna 5-1, MUHS 4-2, NBU 3-3, Pius 0-6 Pool D CH 5-1, Tosa East 3-3, Franklin 2-4, Arrowhead 2-4
Kimberly came from down like 22-17 in the first to beat Germantown like 27-25 and 25-19
Kaukauna came from down like 12-7 in the third to beat Tosa East 16-14 or 17-15
Appleton North beat Middleton in 2, the first set I think went past 25, the second was close but I think like 25-21
CMH lost the first set in overtime, then won by 7 or 8 in the second, lost a 14-11 point lead in the third and then beat MUHS 17-15 or 18-16.
Kimberly beat Kaukauna in two, one set was a 2 point win I think.
Appleton North beat CMH in a very close match, set three was 15-13 I think.
Kimberly beat Appleton North 15-13 in the third on a big swing by Krause. Appleton got a big block on a Krause swing to narrow the Kimberly lead to 1 point down the stretch.
In consolation BEast beat Nicolet 2-0, NBU beat Arrowhead 2-0 in close sets. KM beat Muskego 2-0 and Franklin beat Pius in 3
BE beat NBU in 2, set 2 was very close, Franklin beat KM in 3, I think it was 15-13 or 16-14 as Franklin held on to win.
BE beat Franklin in 3
Great talent on display and the headline should be “Invaders from the North”. Congrats to the teams making the trip down from the valley – really nice showing.
