Braden Amis added 17 attacks, 11 blocks, 17 attacks, five digs, one stuff and seven points for the Tiger Cubs.

After winning the first game, Greencastle dropped the next two. They rallied to take the fourth game and then outlasted the Vikings in game five to grab the win.

"Things didn't always go our way, but we just kept holding on and pushing toward the light," Lowe said.

Greencastle won the junior varsity game as well, winning 25-23 and 25-22, making their record 2-12 for the season.
