Volleyball: Cedar Run Playoff Picture - Heritage Claims Regular-Season Title

(Oct. 27, 2010) - A healthy Battlefield High School volleyball team notched their first AAA Cedar Run District win of the season and that has given the Bobcats life for the next week's postseason tournament. Heritage has already clinched the regular-season title with Tuesday's sweep over Stonewall Jackson.

The Pride, assured of a Northwest Region bid, host Battlefield on Thursday. If the Bobcats win, they will clinch the No. 4 spot in the district tournament and eliminate Osbourn. Battlefield is 1-6 in district and Osbourn is finished at 1-7.

If Battlefield wins at Heritage, then the two teams will have a rematch next Tuesday at Heritage in the district semifinals.
