CONCORD â The final score was Greenville D.H. Conley 3. Cox Mill 0.
But the scoreboard didnât come close to telling the story of just how close Saturday eveningâs Class 3A state volleyball championship match was.
The Chargers played three extremely tight sets with the Vikings, but D.H. Conley came out on the winning end of each one â 25-23, 25-23, 25-23 â to walk away with the state title at Caryâs Green Level High School gym.
It was the first loss of the season for the Chargers, who wrap up the 2020-21 campaign with a 18-1 record. Cox Mill, which was seeded fourth out of the West Region, won the South Piedmont 3A Conference crown for the seventh consecutive season.

Greenville, N.C. The D.H. Conley volleyball team is going back to the 3A Eastern Regional Final. And this time, the Vikings are going to have to defeat archrival J.H. Rose in order to make the state title game. The Vikings advanced to that matchup with a win over a very good Chapel Hill team in four sets on Saturday.
Chapel Hill, which entered this afternoon s matchup with a 14-2 record, defeated Conley in the regional final last season in five sets. In the year before last season, Conley defeated Chapel Hill in the regional round. While today s matchup was in the round before regionals, it had the look and feel of a final four matchup.
