C.B. East Volleyball: Lady Patriots Edge Out Rival C.B. West in 5 Games

Both teams were in prime form Tuesday evening for the second of this year’s two ladies volleyball match-ups between arch-rivals C.B. East and C.B. West. Whereas the first match-up hosted by C.B. East earlier this season went to the Lady Patriots in just 3 games, Tuesday’s contest at C.B. West High School required all 5 games to determine a winner. In the end, it was the victorious Lady Patriots who were able to breathe a bit easier after Game 5’s exciting 15-11 score.

Our photography coverage for this match captures not only game-time action, but also some of the intense emotion throughout the evening… truly an enjoyable sport to photograph when the match-ups are as competitive as the East/West contest proved to be.

Images conveying intensity and emotion can often tell their own stories — particularly happy ones… so we’ll post these “Game 5″ images without captions to highlight some final moments of the match.  Enjoy!!!

C.B. East Volleyball: Lady Titans Top Lady Patriots 3-1

Tuesday evening’s competition pitting the Lady Patriots of C.B. East against the Lady Titans of C.B. South had all the great enthusiasm that you’d expect between two talented cross-town rivals. But after 4 games, the Lady Titans claimed victory over the Lady Patriots 3-1 in a match played at C.B. South High School. Now midway through the “regular season”, The Lady Patriots are 5-4 overall and they won’t see the Lady Titans again until both teams conclude their “regular season” schedule with a rematch at C.B. East later this month.

Here are 12 images highlighting action on the court from Tuesday evening’s game…
