The Warren girls volleyball team will play Wednesday in the opening round of the PIAA 4A volleyball championships. The Dragons recently defeated the District 9 4A champion Clearfield Bison last Thursday in a five-set thriller 26-28, 25-16, 20-25, 25-20, 15-8. They will once again be on the road as they face Oakland Catholic at 6 p.m. in Pittsburgh. The Eagles are the No. 1 seed out of District 7 (WPIAL), and the current top-ranked 4A team in Pennsylvania. The Dragons are the No. 5 4A team in the state. Above, Warren's Brynn Norris sets the ball to teammate Attie Corey during last week's District 10 final at the Hagerty Family Events Center in Erie.
