VHSL State Semifinals Volleyball: Grafton defeats Warhill in four-set thriller.
Grafton High Clippers (Region A Runner-up) knocked off Warhill High Lions (Region A Champion), 3-1, in front of an electric crowd in the Warhill gymnasium on Tuesday night November 19, 2019. The Grafton (23 – 2) were strong down the stretch, hitting .450 in the final frame of the four-set thriller to earn the trip to the VHSL State Championship game. It marks the third time the Grafton have been to the State finals. Olivia Smalls, Mariela Alvarado and Jada Ross turned in another strong performance, directing the offense to a great hitting percentage and collecting plenty of assists in each game. Jada was instrumental in keeping the Warhill Lions out of system, collecting aces from the service line. Grafton is now in control of its own destiny in pursuit of the 2019 VHSL 4A title. Grafton will play host to Loudoun County for the state championship Friday November 22 at the VCU Siegel Center at 4:00pm.
