Clay City Gets Into The Final Four

Big things do come in small packages.

That's certainly the case with the Clay City Wolves volleyball team. The Wolves advanced to the Final Four of the Class 1A State Tournament Saturday with a 28-26, 25-16 victory over Valmeyer to capture the Centralia Christ Our Rock Lutheran Super-Sectional.

Clay City has a high school enrollment of just over 50 students.

Clay City, now 30-2 on the season, will take on Cissna Park Friday at 9 a.m. at Redbird Arena on the campus of Illinois State University. The other semifinal will follow, featuring Lanark Eastland and Kewanee Wethersfield. The Friday winners will play for the Class 1A state championship Saturday.
