In a matchup of PVCA #6 AAA Pennridge and PVCA #7 AAA Parkland, the host Trojans proved to be too much as they took the match 3-1 (24-26, 25-10, 25-17, 25-16).  Parkland opened the match with a quick 5-1 lead before Pennridge settled in and tied it up around 10-10.  From there it was back and forth, seeing the Trojans grab a 23-20 lead but once again Pennridge roared back to tie the set up at 24 before scoring the next 2 points to take the set 26-24.  From there, Parkland responded with timely blocks, aces, and the occasional dig off the shoulder en route to closing out the match in 4.  Leading the way for Parkland was Chase Robbins (Sr. OH) 23 kills, 4 blocks, 11 digs, 2 aces, Josh Nation (So. OH) 12 kills, 2 aces, Luke Smith (Jr. MH) 6 kills, 6 blocks, and 4 digs, while Will Stiles (Jr. S) guided the offense with 42 assists, 7 digs.

Next up for the Trojans is a home match on Tuesday 3/28 against Bethlehem Catholic.  That match will be a Varsity only match.

Parkland opened their 2023 regular season campaign with a 3-0 (25-21, 25-19, 25-19) win over the host Liberty Hurricanes.  Josh Nation (So. OH) lead the way offensively with 11 kills while adding 3 digs.  Chase Robbins (Sr. OH) contributed 11 kills, 2 assists, and 8 digs, Luke Smith (Jr. MH) 11 kills, 2 digs, and 2 blocks and Will Stiles (Jr. S) guided the offense with 34 assists, 5 digs, and 1 block.
