There was no flow in the third meeting of SCL co-champions Jackson Center and Russia with a Division IV regional title on the line...a final game for one and a launching pad for another to the state tournament...all of it hinging on a final shot that left Zeb Borchers, Dave Borchers' oldest son, snipping the final strand of net in the victory celebration.

It might be their all-senior starting lineup, or perhaps their grounding in solid fundamentals, but there's no panic in Jackson Center, which shook off a slow start for the second straight game to advance ever closer to a regional championship.
