A historic run continued over the weekend for the Carrboro High School volleyball team, as the Jaguars defeated West Iredell on Saturday by a score of 3-1 (25-15, 17-25, 25-20, 25-18) to win their second straight 2A state championship.

Playing at NC State’s famed Reynolds Coliseum, a future Tar Heel–Carrboro’s Destiny Cox, who is committed to play at UNC next year–was named the game’s MVP.

Cox posted a team-high 22 kills to go along with 14 digs and three aces, leading the Jaguars (31-0) to their staggering 61st consecutive win–a streak spanning essentially two full seasons.

West Iredell (27-4) was dominant in the second set, but couldn’t quite muster the firepower needed to steal a victory against a team as talented as Carrboro.

While Carrboro completed its ultimate goal for the season, the 3A state championship game saw Chapel Hill (25-7) come up just short in a five-set loss to North Iredell (28-2).

The Tigers fought off five championship points in the fourth set to stay alive, however their comeback bid came up short in the fifth set against the Raiders.

It marks the second straight year Chapel Hill has lost in the state title game.
