By Jerry Wadian [email protected] North Fayette Valley had a record-setting night Tuesday, Oct. 11, in West Union when it totaled a re- cord 16 blocks in a three-set win over South Winn. Despite their prowess at the net, the TigerHawks had their hands full with two sets going into over- time. When the dust settled on a Parents’ Night match, NFV walked away victori- ous, 27-25, 25-18, and 27-25. The TigerHawks trailed most of the fi rst set, down 23-16 at one point. NFV trailed, 20-24, at one point, but rallied to score the fi nal two points of the match to NFV linebacker Blaize Frieden (15) puts a lick on this Union (LPC) runner as the TigerHawks gain the W. dismantled the Knights, 56-21, in a key Class 2A District 4 contest Friday in West Union.
