After splitting the first two sets in the second meeting of the two Dyer County Schools’ middle school volleyball programs, Northview held off a late surge from the Choctaws from Upper Finley Road to defeat Three Oaks 2-1 on Wednesday evening at Northview.

Following an early lead by Three Oaks, Northview stormed back to take a commanding lead as the Choctaws from Newbern outscored the visitors 9-2 to take a 10-4 lead late in the third and deciding set. Three Oaks had one last surge in them as the Choctaws cut the lead to 12-11 before Northview scored three straight to take the third and final set.

Northview took the first set 25-19 but a dominating stretch by the Three Oaks girls early in the second set helped the Choctaws from Upper Finley Road take the second set 25-17 to force the third set.

Northview returns to action over the weekend in Knoxville when they take part in the Marble City Tournament. Three Oaks is on the court on Thursday when the Choctaws travel to Ripley.
