Quite the debut
In its fourth year of existence, the Severance boys volleyball program made a heck of an impression in its first state tournament competition during the 4A championships in Trojan Arena on the Fountain-Fort Carson campus this past week.
The Silver Knights — seeded fifth out of eight teams — went 3-2 overall and made it to the final day of the three-day affair, falling just one win shy of qualifying for the title match.
The Silver Knights beat No. 4 DSST: College View 3-1 in the opening round Thursday. On Friday, they fell 3-1 to top-seeded eventual state champion Regis Groff before coming back shorty later to pick up a big 3-2 win No. 7 Stargate in the second round of the lower bracket.
During Saturday’s final day, Severance continued to show perseverance, as it beat No. 8 Lutheran 3-2 before falling to No. 3 Pueblo South 3-0 with a berth to Saturday night’s title match on the line.
