Bulletin sports logos

East Union was able to take a set from the Valley Oak League’s defending champion Thursday, but Central Catholic had too much firepower in its 25-19, 25-16, 25-27, 25-15 win at Dalben Center.
“Central Catholic came out hot,” East Union coach Chelsea Herrera said. “Our girls were ready, but I think with them having big hitters they just had too much of an arsenal.”
After narrowly dropping the third set, the Raiders broke open a 15-1 lead in the fourth and coasted to the win.
