West Salem unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They took a 3-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the South Salem Saxons on Thursday. The Titans were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Saxons apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.
The defeat didn't mean the game wasn't competitive: South Salem scored at least 18 points in every set. The match finished with set scores of 25-18, 19-25, 25-18, 25-22.
Leading South Salem to victory were Logan Scott and Matheus Borges. Scott had ten digs, while Borges had 16 kills, four digs, two aces, and one block.
The win was the fifth in a row (dating back to last season) for South Salem, bringing their record up to 2-0.
Coming up, South Salem will be defending their home court for the first time this season when they go up against Cascade at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. West Salem will be paying especially close attention to the Saxons' game: after the Saxons faces off against Silverton, they'll take on West Salem again at 7:00 p.m. on the 29th.
