Elder, which also defeated the Cats in the regular season, led, 2-1, and put another W in its column by winning the decisive set, 25-17.

Coach Marcelo's Cats entered the State Tournament as the fourth-ranked team in the Ohio High School Boys Volleyball Association Division I State Poll and were the top-ranked Division I program in the North Region, also by the OHSBVA.

Led by a strong and gifted senior class that was a great example for the underclassmen, Coach Marcelo and his staff will look for youth to be served in 2017, as the Volleyball Cats keep fueling their drive to success.
