By The Herald Staff

POMONA — The loss in the regular season finale Tuesday could be costly for the West Franklin High School volleyball team.

The Falcons were in a tight race with Jeff North for the third seed in the 3A sub-state in Wellsville.

West Franklin split with Metro Academy on senior night in Pomona.

The Falcons won the first match, 25-18, 25-19. The Falcons fell in three games in the nightcap, 8-25, 25-23, 25-22.

“The first match, we took care of business,” West Franklin coach Angie Corwine said.

The Falcons had things going their way with a big win in the first game of the second match.

“Metro fell apart in that first game,” Corwine said. “We tightened up. Our hitters made a lot of errors. It was disappointing for [the seniors]. We had a big crowd.

“It was all going right or it was not.”

West Franklin finished the regular season with a 24-8 mark. The sub-state pairings will be released later this week.
