Volleyball: MCA, TC, VC, PJP, McGehee enter final week as potential top playoff seeds

Mount Carmel, Teurlings Catholic, Vandebilt Catholic, Pope John Paul II and McGehee are poised to claim top-seeds in their respective divisions heading into the final week of the regular season.

Among the key matches Monday, Division I power St. Joseph’s Academy travels to Archbishop Hannan. The Redstickers were third in the most recent Division I power ratings while the Hawks were sixth in Division IV but sure to move up after beating No. 1 and three-time defending state champion Pope John Paul II.

St. Scholastica travels to Mandeville in another interesting matchup. While the Skippers were 20th in the Division I power ratings, the Doves were second in the Division II rankings.

On the bayou, the big rivalry is renewed as Vandebilt Catholic travels to E.D. White Catholic. The Terriers are the top-rated team in Division III while the Cardinals are eighth.
