Comments 0 | Recommend 0

North Gaston clinch its second consecutive Big South 3A Conference volleyball championship with a win against Kings Mountain Thursday.

The Wildcats enter the home match with a 12-5 overall record and a 9-1 mark in the Big South. They lead Kings Mountain (13-4, 8-1) by a half game.

North Gaston won the first meeting 3-0 on Sept. 15.

The Wildcats remained atop the standings with Tuesday’s 3-2 over Crest. Caitlin Rubow led the offense with 13 kills and two aces while Olivia Denton added 10 kills and eight aces.

Kings Mountain stayed in the hunt by beating Ashbrook 3-0 Tuesday. Sarah Fedyschyn tallied five kills and nine assists, Hayley Hoyle notched five kills, Megan Hoyle served four aces and Jessica Burton added seven digs for the Mountaineers.

North Gaston has only one conference match remaining after today. The Wildcats travel to South Point on Tuesday before wrapping up the regular season with a non-conference match against East Gaston on Wednesday.

Kings Mountain’s remaining schedule includes conference games against Crest on Tuesday and Forestview on Oct. 15.

North Gaston won the Big South championship last year with a 11-1 record, capturing its first volleyball title since 1995 and first outright championship since 1980.
