JOHNSON CITY – A 20 team tournament held in Johnson City this past weekend, home of the Wildcats, featured four Chenango County volleyball squads – with the Bainbridge-Guilford Bobcats emerging as the most decorated.

The B-G Bobcats managed to fight their way to the finals of the gold bracket – top-bracket – for what was a showdown with the Union-Endicott Tigers.

U-E snagged the win in the gold bracket finals with a 25-17 win over B-G. Advancing to the gold bracket was no easy task for Bainbridge-Guilford. Although they marched to the tune of nine wins and just one loss – B-G’s most important loss came when it mattered most, in the finals.

In pool play, qualifying for the gold bracket B-G downed Vestal at 2-0 (25-16 and 25-17), Waverly at 2-0 (25-20 and 25-18), Unadilla Valley at 2-0 (25-13 and 25-18), and Elmira at 1-1 (25-19 and 23-25).

Fellow Chenango County squad, the Norwich Purple Tornado, fought a valiant fight, earning a place in the top gold bracket as well.

In their pool, Norwich defeated Harpursville-Afton at 2-0(25-8 and 25-12), Maine-Endwell at 2-0 (25-15 and 25-17), before falling to Johnson City 0-2 (20-25 and 13-25) – splitting with Chenango Valley at 1-1 (14-25 and 27-25).
