The final seconds have ticked off the clock on day #3 here at Cornhusker Boys State and some great performances have really come out. We have seen many individuals throw dunks down, toss contested jump ball touchdowns from 30 plus yards, crank out massive home runs, and send spikes down so hard that even the Husker Volleyball team would have been proud. Later this week we will host the Boys’ State Track meet and All-Star games!

Day two of volleyball brought intense rallies, narrow finishes, and major shifts in momentum. Valley Forge and Belleau Wood remain undefeated at 2-0, both surviving tough tests to stay atop the standings. Valley Forge edged out Gettysburg in two tight sets, while Belleau Wood held off a fierce challenge from Manila Bay in a three-set battle. Bunker Hill bounced back with a strong win over Yorktown, who now drops to 0-2. Alamo pulled off a thrilling comeback against Bataan, winning a nail-biting third set of 18-16. With most teams now sitting at 1-1, the race to the top is wide open heading into the latter part of the week!
