ONE TROPHY UP, ONE TROPHY DOWN: Forest Park Volleyball Rolls On

CRYSTAL FALLS---The Forest Park Trojans volleyball team cruised to a district championship Thursday night, with an eye on bigger and better things in the next two weeks. The Trojans continued their domination of UP opponents, brushing away the Wakefield-Marenisco Cardinals in straight sets, 25-10, 25-14, and 25-20.

Other than a loss in August to Saginaw Valley Lutheran, the Trojans have not lost a single set, let alone a match, all season long.

Forest Park is now 39-1-0 on the season, and it is the unanimous top-ranked team in the Upper Peninsula. The Trojans are ranked fourth in the statewide poll.

Wakefield-Marenisco finished a nice season with a 21-8-0 record.

Forest Park will face either Hancock or Lake Linden-Hubbell in the regional semifinals next Tuesday night. That match will be played on the neutral court at L'Anse High School. If the Trojans win next Tuesday, they'll face either Norway or Ishpeming in the regional championship match next Thursday.

That match will be played at North Dickinson High School.
