Getting into the dance is the important part and once you’re in the postseason anything can happen. The Johnson-Brock Eagles were provided the opportunity to participate in the Class D1 State volleyball Championship in Nebraska earning a wild card berth and they made the best of the opportunity winning their first volleyball State title since 1993.

Emerson-Hubbard then grabbed set three 26-28 but Johnson-Brock took set four 27-25 and won the match with a fifth set win 15-7, punching their ticket to the Championship.
