Victor hosted Darby on Friday, October 25 in a matchup of old 13C rivals. Darby is now a Class B school and, as one would expect, the bigger Class B school had the advantage and Darby won 3-0 (25-9, 25-17, 25-17), although a scrappy Victor team fought hard throughout.
Earlier in the week, on Tuesday, Oct. 22, Darby went to Deer Lodge and lost 0-3 (25-17, 25-12, 25-18)
