SOBOs cruise to a victory in the opening round of the 2024 1A volleyball postseason

Winners of 18 matches on the season, the SOBOs of South Beloit came into the opening round of the 2024 IHSA 1A Girls Volleyball postseason with a lot of confidence. South Beloit finished 3rd in the Northeastern conference. Their opponent on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2024 was the 1-25 Alden-Hebron Green Giants.

The effort would be great tonight from the Green Giants early in the match, but South Beloit regained control with good passing and some timely serving, winning the opening game 25-10. The second game was much like the first as the SOBOs overwhelmed the Green Giants and ended their season by winning 25-14.

South Beloit will now face 6th seed Rockford Lutheran. The match get underway on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. at South Beloit High School.
