The Centurions came up with an impressive 10 blocks, including seven from junior middle Randal Bork, to prevail on the road and clinch the CPIC regular-season title.

Bork wasted little time asserting her dominance at the net by earning the first point of the match on a block. The opening set ended in similar fashion.

Leighton Grant led the way in a lopsided second set by putting down five of her team-high 12 kills and adding three aces. 

Fellow outside hitter Paige Moyers had 10 kills, while Kaye Freeman finished with eight kills. 

Coastal Christian (17-8, 9-0) setter Shelby Covington handed out 30 assists. 

The home team avoided a sweep by opening the third set on a 7-1 run and never looking back. A kill from sophomore Neveah Sanders extended the match. 

CFA’s (13-6, 7-2) Frankie Osborne led all players with 16 kills. Lila Hammer dished out 19 assists.

The Centurions welcome John Paul II on Thursday at 6 p.m. The Hurricanes visit Parrott Academy at 5:15 p.m. Thursday.

(27-25, 25-20, 20-25, 21-25, 15-11)

A double-double of 13 assists, 16 digs, and two kills from Malorie Hardison helped the Patriots sweep the season series against their rival for the first time since 2022.

Victoria Wells put down 22 kills to go along with nine blocks and five aces. Merissa Crawford chipped in eight kills, 17 digs, and two aces. 

Pender (10-12, 3-7 East Central) libero Eden Gurganus came up with 39 digs and served two aces. 

Despite the loss, Trask (6-16, 1-9) junior libero Lacey Patterson surpassed 1,000 digs for her career. 

Both teams now await their seed for the upcoming NCHSAA 3A playoffs.

An inspired performance on Senior Day avenged an earlier-season loss and increased the Hurricanes’ winning streak to five games.

During that stretch, CFA (11-6, 6-3 CPIC) has outscored its opponents 25-2.

Ethan Gatt was fouled in the box in the 19th minute. He stepped up to take the ensuing penalty kick and easily scored to put the home team in front for good. 

Less than two minutes later, Rob Lea doubled the lead. The Hurricanes made it 3-0 when Carter Mann headed home a long throw-in from Will Lea. 

The final goal came with just under two minutes to play in the opening half. A corner kick wasn’t cleared and eventually found the foot of Vance Mino, who blasted a shot into the back of the net. 

Goalkeeper Jackson Renton earned the clean sheet by making a pair of saves. 

Coastal Christian (10-9-2, 7-2) goalkeeper Ty Forrester finished with double-digit saves.

Laney (17-1-1, 6-1-1 Carolina Coast) goalkeeper Sam Walter had a strong performance with seven saves.
