On Friday, Campbell Flynn’s play and presence lifted the Marlins while getting in the heads of the Clarkston Wolves, as she led Mercy to a 25-23, 25-13, 25-20 victory in the Division 1 semifinal at Kellogg Arena.
Cayla Cogan put down 12 kills and led Clarkston to a 25-17, 25-21, 25-11 win over L’Anse Creuse North, punching the Wolves’ ticket to Battle Creek for a state semifinal on Friday.
The Clarkston Wolves find themselves on the verge of avenging that moment as they advanced to next Tuesday’s D1 quarterfinal following a 25-17, 19-25, 25-9, 25-13 win over Flushing in a regional final at Grand Blanc High School on Thursday.
After dropping a set in both the district semifinal and district final, Clarkston coach Ali Smith was pleased to see her team put together a more complete match on Tuesday when it defeated Hartland 25-18, 25-20, 25-21 in a D1 regional semifinal at Grand Blanc High School.
