Hornets
Storm Through Castle Hill Tournament
(8/26/00)
The
boys varsity squad won seven straight matches over the
weekend to win the Castle Hill Tournament and improve its
season record to 17-0.
The
Hornets began the event by defeating St. Mary's Hall,
Friday. In the rematch of last year’s SPC finals,
Greenhill continued its victorious play, shutting down St.
Mary’s Hall in two games 25-10, 25-13.
In
the weekend’s second match, the Hornets beat St. John's
25-21, 25-16. The squad followed that victory with a win
Trinity Valley, 25-16, 25-9.
On
Saturday, Greenhill finished pool play by beating Fort Worth
Country Day 25-14, 25-11, San Antonio Christian School
25-18, 26-27, 15-4. Against San Antonio Christian, the first
hard-fought match of the tourney, Greenhill lost its first
game of the weekend, but rebounded to beat SAC in the third
and final game of the match.
Finishing
first seed in its pool, Greenhill headed to the Gold
Division
playoffs
(4 top teams). In
the semi-final round, the Hornets faced nemesis St. Mark's
but beat them soundly 25-9, 25-8.
The
St. Mark’s victory set up the finals match against host
Castle Hills, which had not yet lost a match in the
tournament. Hoping to redeem a finals defeat against Castle
Hill in last year’s event, Greenhill came out strong on
defense and won 25-17, 25-22.
