Boyne City wins thrilling 5 set match against Cheboygan. The Chiefs came out strong in game one with tremendous serving to knock Boyne out of set one with a 15-25 win. The Ramblers offense took the reins and powered through Cheboygan defense returning the favor and taking set two 25-12 and set three 25-19. With Boyne needing to just win one more set to take the match Cheboygan came out on fire taking a 16-5 lead in set four. Boyne was able to rally back and tie up the game at 18-18 but the hitting from Angie S was too much for Boyne defense and the Chiefs took set four 21-25. Set five was all Boyne City. Annabelle Seelye got the Ramblers up 11-0 with some great serving and Cheboygan couldn’t put anything together after that. Boyne took set five 15-6.

“Winning five set matches is our main focus this year. It has been a struggle for us in the past, we loose all momentum and get flustered when we are down a few points. Tonight I was happy with how excited the girls were and how they kept up the intensity even when we started out with that first loss. I have such a Senior heavy team that I just keep drilling into them that this is the last time they will play on the volleyball court for Boyne City so they might as well go out and have fun and play together as a team, that’s exactly what they did tonight and it paid off!”- Coach Mallory Slate
