Randolph did not mess around in the Morris County Tournament semifinals. Playing on their home court on Tuesday, the Rams swept Morris County Tech 2-0 and marched into the county final without dropping a set.
The first set was a statement all by itself: 25-8. Randolph kept the pressure exactly where it was in the second set and closed it out 25-17. Across the whole match, the Rams outscored Morris Tech 50-25 — doubling up a tournament semifinal opponent is about as emphatic as a win gets.
That kind of performance is exactly what a team wants heading into a final. Randolph controlled the match from the first serve, never let Morris Tech build a run of any kind, and now carries a semifinal rout's worth of confidence into the biggest match of the season.
Waiting in the final: Mount Olive, which won the other semifinal in four sets. The county championship matchup is set — and Randolph looks ready for it.
Twenty-five points allowed in a semifinal. Eight points in a first set. However you slice it, this was as one-sided as tournament volleyball gets — and it sends Randolph into the championship match rested, confident, and rolling.
Stars of the Game: the entire Randolph squad — the Sweep Squad — for a semifinal that was all business from the first serve to the last point.
