Griggs/Midkota hoped that their win over BCN to start the league season in District 5 would spring them to a possible upset last Tuesday night in Cooperstown, but that was not to be.
Despite playing well in the first set against the Edgeley-Kulm/Montpelier Rebels, the Titans learned, as two other district teams have so far, that the Rebs are not a squad with which to be trifled.
The Titans fell to E-K-M by scores of 21-25, 14-25 and 13-25, which vaulted the visitors to sole possession of first place in the standings with LaMoure/Litchville-Marion's five-set loss to Carrington also that evening.
Kennedy Reidman's eight kills paced the Titans, who are now 1-1 in the district table. In addition, Vanessa Vollmer struck six kills in a losing effort.
Emma McCullough had 17 assists in the loss, and Ryan Johnson had 20 digs, along with Vollmer's 10 in that statistic.
Griggs/Midkota had two aces in the match, those coming from Kelsey Johnson and Chloe Vincent. Kadance Klubben had the Titans' lone block.
G-M returns to the court tonight (September 25) in Binford against Nelson County. Thursday, they switch home venues to Glenfield when they entertain the South Border Mustangs. Both matches are non-district affairs.
