The long-awaited rematch between the top two teams in the 3A West volleyball conference will have to wait for fans of both schools. The October 6 rematch of Hackett traveling to Paris for in all likelihood will determine the conference champion and the number one seed in the state tournament has been postponed due to COVID reasons. As previously reported by Resident Press, the Paris volleyball team remains in quarantine and will not resume practice until later this week. Paris will potentially not have its entire varsity team available for practice until after the October 6 date.
Paris defeated the Lady Hornets in five sets back on September 10 at Hackett. The match featured two great teams playing the match down to the wire to eventually determine a winner, and fans from both schools have been eagerly awaiting the second match in Paris.
Both Hackett and Paris have conference matches to make-up before the state playoffs. It is unknown to Resident Press at this point as to if the post-season district tournament will be held, and if teams will make-up missed regular season conference matches. If a conference tournament is not held, conference teams would possibly have a week to make-up missed conference matches.
Hackett coach Bridget Freeman and Paris coach Jordan Devine are both working to reschedule matches, and Resident Press is assuming that both coaches are having a difficult go at finding time to reschedule matches.
Resident Press will continue to follow this story, and will post any new information regarding the rescheduling of matches as soon as it is known. But for now, the fan bases of both schools will have to wait for the rematch of “Super Fight 2” between the top two teams in the 3A West.
