It was also a very strong performance from the New Mexico teams, with the usual suspects – Las Cruces and Centennial – looking strong this early in the season and progressing to the championship bracket.
Las Cruces got the wins over El Paso and Eastwood, falling 3-0 (17, 15, 18) to Franklin in the semi-final.
Centennial also faired well, defeating both El Paso and Canutillo in straight sets.
