Most area volleyball teams concluded the regular season this week, with Harnett Central claiming a share of its conference championship.
Here are the highlights from Thursday's busy slate.
Behind all-around efforts from its upperclassmen on Senior Night, Harnett Central took care of rival Triton for the second time this fall with a three-set win Thursday.
Set scores were 25-17, 25-23 and 25-14.
Senior outside hitter Ivanna Jones led the Lady Trojans with a double-double, totaling 11 kills and 10 digs. Fellow upperclassmen Sinai Avalos Beltran and KeErica Snead each added eight kills, while Carlee Harrell had 15 assists.
Junior middle hitter Lily Gervase had nine kills and a team-leading five blocks, while Carlie Love led the way with 16 assists and nine aces.
Triton finishes the season 10-12 overall and takes third in the All American with a 9-5 league record.
Central (14-7, 13-1 AAC) finishes in a tie for first with Terry Sanford. A league meeting Saturday will decide which team holds the No. 1 seed heading into next week's conference tournament.
