Holt defeated the Warrenton Warriors in a varsity boys volleyball match at Warrenton High School, the game’s radio announcer said; the broadcast did not specify a final set score.
The matchup featured several long rallies and sustained pressure from Holt’s offense, notably player No. 11, identified repeatedly by the announcer as a dominant attacker. Warrenton used Braden Brown (No. 12) as the team’s libero and recorded strong plays from Austin White and Isaac Wagner as they rallied in the middle sets.
The contest opened with Holt jumping to early leads in the first two sets; Holt took the opening set and then built a second-set advantage that put Warrenton on the defensive. The announcer noted Holt’s setter, Valerio (transcript spelling), repeatedly setting up the team’s big hitters for successful attacks. Warrenton closed some scoring gaps late in the second and third sets with consecutive service runs and several successful digs and tips.
Warrenton’s coaching staff for the match was listed as Jake Brown (head coach), John Schulte and Casey Dildine; Holt’s coaches were identified as Greg Franklin and Evie Blackburn. The broadcast also noted that Warrenton’s program is in its inaugural season and that many players had not played competitive club volleyball before; the announcer praised the Warriors’ improvement and effort, saying, “they're getting better and better every game.”
The broadcast included a brief on-site announcement of sponsors Main Street Real Estate and Hunter Modular and promoted the school’s upcoming theater production of Charlie Brown the Musical, with performances Thursday through Saturday.
The announcer reported an earlier junior varsity match at the same site in which the JV Warriors won two sets to one over Holt. The radio broadcast did not provide a complete, itemized final set scoreline for the varsity match or a detailed stat sheet.
The radio play-by-play credited multiple strong individual efforts—Holt’s No. 11 for repeated kills and Warrenton players Austin White and Isaac Wagner for service aces and key digs—while also highlighting the officiating crew’s role in maintaining proper rotation and resolving close calls.
No formal scoresheet or official postgame statistics were supplied in the broadcast excerpt; the announcer’s wrap-up noted Holt as the match winner and thanked sponsors and listeners.
