The semifinal round of the 4A state volleyball championship favored the lower seeds as No. 4 Sunrise Mountain swept No. 1 Cactus Shadows and No. 3 Salpointe beat No. 2 Cactus 3-1 on Tuesday night.
The Bobcats defeated Salpointe 9-2 Tuesday night to capture the Division II championship and the win was the third over the Lancers this year. No, the third time may not have been difficult, but it was impressive.
