PLYMOUTH — Close, but no cigar.

ST. JOSEPH’S 3, PLYMOUTH 1 (25-22, 19-25, 25-20, 25-23)
St. Joe unseated five-time defending champion Mishawaka Marian in the morning, then held off a surging Plymouth squad for the title in four back-and-forth sets in the sectional finale at The Rock, 25-22, 19-25, 25-20, 25-23.
Plymouth’s Jordan Knapp recorded 7.5 tackles, three interceptions, 15 rushing yards, three PATs and a touchdown in Plymouth’s sectional win at Angola Friday.
Culver Community’s Aspen Kitchell recorded 15 kills and 16 assists to help lead her team to a Class A Sectional championship over South Central Saturday.
LAKEVILLE — The first time the two teams played, Femi Hollinger-Janzen wasn’t as much of an issue. At Saturday’s LaVille Boys Soccer Semistate, he took control.
