All three matches went five games, and when the referee blew his whistle for the opening serve in the Sidney-Tecumseh games, the clock read 9:40 p.m., over a two-hour delay.

Tecumseh won the first game 25-18, but the Lady Jackets came back and took the next two 25-18, 25-13. However, the Lady Arrows won the fourth game 25-16, then edged the Lady Jackets in the deciding game 15-13.

The loss ended Sidney’s season at 11-12. Tecumseh advances to meet Northmont in the semifinals.

ARCANUM — No. 2-seeded Fort Loramie beat County rival Houston for the third time, and ended the Lady Wildcats’ season with a 3-0 victory in the Division 4 Sectional Tournament opener for both squads Monday night at Arcanum.

Highlighting the win for Fort Loramie was a milestone reached by senior Caleigh Barhorst. She finished with 20 kills and one of them was the 1,000th of her career.
