By Dennis Dunn, Writer

The IHSAA unveiled their 2024 volleyball sectional pairings on Sunday night, Oct. 6 and all three county schools found out their fate. Located at 1100 N. Eastern School Rd., New Pekin, the Eastern Musketeers will host Class 2A Sectional 46, while the Salem Lions will play at Eastern. West Washington will travel to 1000 Academy Dr., New Albany to play in the Class A Sectional 63 at Christian Academy of Indiana (CAI).

In Class 2A, Eastern is 19-4 and 5-3 in the Mid-Southern Conference, while Salem is 9-18 and 0-7 in the MSC. Eastern is 5-0 against sectional opponents with wins over Salem (2-0, 3-0) twice, Clarksville, Paoli and Mitchell (all 3-0 scores). Salem is 6-3 against sectional foes with two wins over Mitchell (2-0, 3-0), two wins over Crawford County (3-2, 2-0), and wins over Paoli and Clarksville (both 3-0). They lost to Eastern twice and Crawford County (2-0).

In the first match of the Eastern Sectional, Clarksville will battle Mitchell and Paoli will play Salem. Crawford County drew the bye and will play the winner of the Clarksville-Mitchell match, and Eastern drew the other bye and will play the Paoli-Salem winner.

In Class A Sectional 63 at CAI, Borden will open with the host school in the first match, while South Central will play New Washington in the second match. Henryville will play West Washington in match 3 and Lanesville will battle with Rock Creek Academy in match 4.

The Senators were 8-12 this year and 2-3 in the Patoka Lake Athletic Conference. However, they were 1-4 against sectional opponents this year. Their only win was over Henryville (3-1). They lost to Borden twice (2-0, 3-1), CAI (3-2) and Lanesville (3-0).
