Congratulations to the Simley Girls Volleyball team for its gutsy, gritty, and ultimately golden sweep of Mahtomedi’s Senior Night to wrap up second place in the Metro East Conference in its final regular season match. The Spartans were the beneficiaries of the Zephyr’s multiple mistakes in the first set cruising easily to a 25-18 win. After a back and forth start to the second set, Simley decided to begin a run of very unusual mistakes to seemingly hand the second set to their hosts. But down 20-24 with the coach trying to think of something positive to say between sets, the Spartans said “Just Kidding” and began a “gutsy” comeback that tied the set at 24 – gave Mahtomedi two more set points – and then crushed their hopes with a 28-26 victory and all the momentum going into the final set. The Zephyrs would not go away and the Spartans called up a typically “gritty” and resilient performance in the decisive set gaining an early lead and answering everything thrown against them finally closing out the match with yet another “golden” 25-23 win. Simley opens its sectional tournament at home on Tuesday night against Highland Park.
