The No. 4 Midlakes boys volleyball team captured its fourth consecutive sectional championship on Tuesday night, sweeping No. 3 East High in straight sets to claim the Section V Class B2 title at Finger Lakes Community College.
The Screaming Eagles (12-10) edged East (13-6) in a tightly contested opening set, 28-26, before taking control with 25-18 and 25-16 victories to secure another sectional title.
Midlakes entered the postseason with a 9-10 record but put together an impressive playoff run, including an upset of top-seeded North Rose-Wolcott in the semifinals, to extend its championship streak.
Senior Jesse Bennett was named the Class B2 tournament’s Most Valuable Player, while teammates Joah Bennett and Walker Landschoot earned all-tournament honors.
Midlakes will now face the Class B1 champion for the right to represent Section V in the state tournament.
