CENTRAL CITY -- The Scotus Central Catholic volleyball team had had enough. It was time to break the streak.

After losing the first five sets against Grand Island Central Catholic this season, the Class C-1, No. 3 Shamrocks opened the C1-4 District final by dropping the first two sets 25-18, 25-20 to the top-ranked Crusaders. Down 2-0 and losing 24-23 in the third set, SCC refused to be swept again and came back to win the third set 26-24 and the fourth set 25-20 before falling 15-7 in the fifth and decisive set Friday at Central City to finish as the district runner-up.
