When The Meadows girls’ volleyball team met Boulder City in the Class 3A state final, it felt like the showdown had been years in the making.
The Meadows claimed back-to-back titles in Class 2A in 2021 and 2022, while Boulder City stood as the reigning 3A champs. And the two teams faced off three times during the 2023-24 regular season, with The Meadows earning a 2-1 split.
The title bout came down to a fifth and final set in front of a raucous crowd, with The Meadows prevailing, 15-10, to win the 3A crown.
It was a fitting culmination to a hotly contested rivalry.
“They obviously were the best in our division,” Meadows coach Ray Fafard said of Boulder City. “It’s a great rivalry.”
On the season, freshman Piper Kennedy and junior Sydnee Clark led the Mustangs with 199 and 192 kills, respectively. Junior Grace Evans tallied 380 assists.
