CEDARVILLE – In a battle of area rivals, the Pellston Hornets captured a 3-1 victory over Mackinaw City (23-25, 26-24, 25-10, 25-8) in an MHSAA Division 4 volleyball first-round district match on Monday.

While they got off to a great start with a first-set win, the Comets (17-17-4) were narrowly beaten in the second. From there, they couldn’t overcome the loss to the Hornets (17-16-6), who took control in the final two sets to keep their season alive.

Pellston stats and reaction from coach Brooke Groff will be available later today.

“Congrats to Pellston, they are a very solid team, well coached, and they are playing very good volleyball right now,” Mackinaw City coach Jake Huffman said. “Lanie Irwin was a load, and she dominated the net in the deciding third and fourth sets.”
