The PORTA-AC Central high school volleyball team has started the 2023 season with a 4 and 3 record going 2-3 in the very competitive Springfield Lutheran Invite.
The Lady Bluejays opened the season with a two-set road win over Lewistown, knocking off the Indians 25-23 and 25-18. At the Lutheran Invite, the Jays started with a tough three-set loss to class 3A Chatham Glenwood, losing 25-21, 21-25, 13-15.
The good weather led to a five-game week for the Virginia/Triopia/Meredosia/Chambersburg J.H. Baseball team, and they picked up two wins for their efforts. A nine to three home loss on Monday to Our Saviours of Jacksonville started the week for the Redbirds. Jacksonville outhit the Birds nine to four and Virginia committed three errors in the game. Ryker Howe and Avery Neathery each had two hits and Cosmo Browning drew two walks in the loss.
A 5-0 week for the AC-Central-PORTA junior high baseball team culminated with winning the Virginia Tournament. The Knights started the week with a 13-1 short game win over Illini Central at home. AC scored in all four innings of the game and Trenton Bushnell did not allow a hit while striking out ten batters. Colton Nelson and Calob Cass each had two hits while Tate Karrick, Braxton Stice, Wesley Sampson, Wyatt Hays, Jackson Richard, Owen Gronewold, and Bushnell all had one hit.
