While it's not 100% official until posted on www.districtxi.com, the 2025 District XI Boys Volleyball AAA Bracket appears to be set.

  2025 District XI Boys Volleyball AAA Bracket

In an EPC Semifinal match to remember, Emmaus was able to outlast the Trojans in a five-set marathon, taking the match 3-2 (24-26, 25-21, 20-25, 25-19, 16-14).  The win moves Emmaus into the EPC Final, where they will face #2 seed Whitehall, a 3-0 (27-25, 25-22, 25-19) winner over #3 Nazareth.  The EPC Final will be held on Thursday, May 15th at 6:00 pm at Allen HS.  Before the match, all EPC 1st Team All-Stars will be honored, which includes Parkland's Josh Nation (Sr. OH), who was named the EPC MVP by the coaches.

Next up for the Trojans is the District XI AAA tournament, where they will most likely travel to #4 Nazareth.  The official District XI AAA bracket will be released after the EPC Final because the EPC champion earns the automatic #1 seed in the District tournament.

In a very evenly played EPC Quarterfinal match, Parkland was able to shake off a third-set collapse to earn the four set win over host #4 seed Freedom 3-1 (25-20, 25-23, 24-26, 26-24).  Josh Nation (Sr. OH) proved why he was named EPC MVP earlier this week by leading the Trojans with 19 kills while added 2 blocks.  Alex Schoch (Sr. MH) put up a wall all night collecting 5 blocks while added 9 kills.  Owen Barnett (So. L) seemed to be everywhere finishing with a team high 13 digs.  Gabe Chase (Jr. S) handed out 42 assists and 2 blocks.

Next up for the Trojans is the EPC Semifinal against #1 seed Emmaus.  The match will begin at 7:00pm or after the #2 Whitehall vs #3 Nazareth (3-2 winner over #6 Dieruff) match ends.  The Whitehall vs Nazareth match starts at 5:00.  The EPC Semifinals will be held at Allen HS and will be aired LIVE on SENetwork on Channel 50 at 5:00pm and 7:00pm.  The complete SENetwork schedule can be found here:  https://www.senetwork.tv/schedule/
