Once again the O'Hara High School Celtic volleyball team successfully defended its 3-A State Championship, and this year, with relative ease. _____ Villa Duchesne had to settle for second place after O'Hara posted 25-16 and 25-13 games on Saturday evening. _____ Numerous kills by Michala Boehm and Tori Hurtt, spectacular digs by libero Katie Huber, and accurate settings by Lindsey Hanaway led the way with support from Jordyn Wyatt, Madison Clark, and Janell Jordan. _____ In the first game, the score was close until it reached 6-5 with neither team leading by more than a point. Then the Celtics pulled away and led by as much as nine at 21-12 and coasted to the win. _____ In the second game, the Celtics jumped ahead 4-0 immediately and stretched the lead to ten midway through the contest.
