Two of the very best boys’ volleyball teams in Allen County met at Heritage Wednesday as the Patriots hosted FW Snider. Heritage had just one loss coming into the night – to Homestead – but it was the visitors who won the fourth and deciding set by the slimmest of margins, 26-24, for the victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Litchfield led the home team with 19 kills but most of the gym spent the evening in awe of Snider’s special player – Landen Altic. The senior had a whopping 29 kills, scoring at over a 50% rate for the Panthers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Patriots were aided by a staggering number of service errors from Snider, 24 in total, to keep the early sets close. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
