The Dell Rapids Quarrier volleyball team played in the Pentagon Classic on Saturday, September 26th. Dell Rapids dropped all four matches of the classic.
In the opening match, the Quarriers got out to a one game lead against Hitchcock-Tulare, and led 24-19 in the second match, however, the Patriots came back to win game two 24-26. Hitchcock-Tulare then won the third game 13-25.
Bon Homme was too much for the Quarriers to handle as they defeated Dell Rapids two games to none. Bridgewater-Emery and Oldham-Ramona/Rutland also posted match wins over Dell Rapids in the classic.
“We will accept defeat, but not failure. We failed. The competitive spirit was lacking and thus, our performance reflected that. It was a disappointing effort that we just need to move on,” lamented Coach Solberg.
