When the McLouth High volleyball team heads to Wellsville on Saturday for its sub-state tournament, it will have a familiar team waiting for it in the first round.

The match in DVL tournament pool play was the third this season between the two teams, and Jefferson County North has won all three times.
McLouth faced JCN at a home triangular on Sept. 15. The Chargers won that match, 25-21 and 25-15.
The first matchup between the schools came at a season-opening tournament back on Aug. 29. In their first match of the 2009 season, the Bulldogs lost, 23-25, 26-24, 25-18, to Jefferson County North.
The fourth matchup between the teams will start after a 2 p.m. first-round match between Osage City and Wellsville.
