NEWARK — No doubt, Smyrna got contributions from all six positions on the floor during the DIAA championship match on Thursday night at the Bob Carpenter Center.

Tournament fever is in the air. One of the most exciting championship events on the high school calendar is just a few days away.

The Riders are 5-2 entering this week, with both losses coming to top-5 teams in Smyrna …
The big news of the week comes from Delaware Military Academy, and it has nothing to do with the Seahawks’ play on the court. Unfortunately, an equipment malfunction has wreaked havoc with the team’s season. DMA athletic director Jeremy Jeanne did not respond to an email or text message seeking details, but the court cannot be used until the net …
Hey, Dover, we heard you. Let’s talk about the Senators. Dover is 4-0 heading into this week, with all four victories coming on the road. After opening with a sweep of the sixth-ranked Caravel, Dover moved to 4-0 after defeating No. 5 Delmarva Christian, 3-1, on Sept. 16 in Georgetown. Three of the four sets were decided by the minimum …
It’s hard to make any conclusions based on four days of volleyball, but here’s what we see from the baseline. Let’s start with the 10th-ranked Ursuline Raiders, who are 2-0 after a win at DMA on Sept. 9. Big hitters up front, a quality setter in Hayley Timmons, and a typical Ursuline defense look pretty good. They needed four sets …
