Super 8! Fred T. Foard repeats as 2A volleyball champions; Mountain Island falls in 1A

Fred T. Foard, from Newton, NC, is the N.C. 2A state volleyball champion -- again

Foard beat McMichael 3-0 at Cary’s Green Level High School to win their eighth overall state championship, and Foard has never lost in the championship round.

Saturday, Foard won 25-14, 25-11 and 25-22 and finished the season 19-0.

Championship MVP Michelle Thao had 10 blocks. Thao was also MVP of the 2019 state final.

“We knew they had some good players,” Foard coach Michelle Lombardi said, “and that was our focus. It’s really exciting to be here and it’s always a goal of ours to be here again. It feels really good to be back-to-bac state champions for 2A. I couldn’t be more proud of the team. This is really an awesome experience for myself and for the girls, to experience this as well.”

Foard won three straight 3A championships from 1995-97 and won back-to-back 3A titles in 2002 and ‘03. It also won the 2005 3A crown.

Mountain Island Charter falls in 1A final

East Wake won the 1A final 3-1 over Mountain Island Charter.

After East Wake took a 2-0 lead (25-15, 25-15), Mountain Island Charter rallied to take the third (25-21).

Mountain Island was up 21-12 in the fourth set before East Wake made a big rally, led by championship MVP Krista Seavy who had 35 assists. Teammate Krista Brantley had 27 kills.

Both schools were making their first appearance in the finals. East Wake won its first NCHSAA championship in any sport.

East Wake ended the season at 13-1. Mountain Island, the first Gaston County team to reach the championship round, finished at 13-1.
