Congratulations to Chris Lucas and the Carmi-White County Lady Bulldog Volleyball team for placing 4th at the IHSA State Finals over the weekend.
Carmi-White County faced off against the number 1 team in the state in Friday’s semifinal in Immaculate Conception Catholic out of Chicago. Carmi fell 25-5 and 25-16. That loss sent Carmi to the 3rd Place match where they faced Rock Falls, and fell in 3 sets 27-25, 21-25, 25-14.
The Lady Bulldogs end their historic season with the most wins in a single season in school history with a 33-9 record, a regional championship, the school’s first ever sectional championship, the school’s first ever super-sectional championship and now a 4th Place Trophy in Class 2A.
