The Details

JAMESTOWN — The Jamestown High School volleyball team will be playing in next week's NDHSAA Division AA Volleyball State Tournament.

Second-seeded Jamestown survived a nail-biter of a match in Friday's semifinal round of the West Region volleyball tournament. The Blue Jays defeated Bismarck Legacy in five sets. Jamestown will face Bismarck Century — the only team in the WDA the Jays have not beaten — in Saturday's championship game. First serve is scheduled for 4 p.m. at Jerry Meyer Arena.

Legacy took the opening two sets on Friday night, topping the Jays 25-22, 33-31 before the Jays came roaring back to claim the next three sets 25-15, 25-22, 18-16. A win in the semifinal round gives the team a berth at the state tournament.

Lucy Falk was on fire at the net for the Jays amassing 33 kills. Claire Marker was a force in the middle with 16 kills. Amelia Newman finished the night with six kills while Aylexes Walch tallied eight. In addition to her 56 assists, Hannah Attleson put up three kills, one ace and nine digs.

Falk and libero Adisyn Yunck each turned in 22 digs. Newman put up 21 saves.

All four of the matches played on Friday took at least four sets to finish. Mandan topped Williston 3-2 to advance to Saturday's state qualifier. The Braves will face Legacy at 2 p.m. Minot defeated Minot North in the consolation semifinals and are now set to play Bismarck High in the noon state qualifying match.
