This means Byram Hills is going to Pelham tomorrow for pool play, and Eastchester is going to Pearl River.

Suffern beat Clarkstown South yesterday to finish the regular season 17-0.  Haldane beat Ardsley 3-0 to finish 18-0.  Hen Hud can finish undefeated with a win over Pelham later today.

Then after that match the coaches get together to figure out the seeding and matchups for the playoffs.  All the details will be in tomorrow’s paper.

Like Erin before me, I’m making a career change, and that means I won’t be making it through the volleyball playoffs.  My final day at the Journal News is next Tuesday, which, I believe, is the second round of sectionals.

Now, I know it looks bad that both volleyball beat reporters have quit during this season, [...]
