Northside Methodist’s junior varsity team captured the AISA Class A state title Saturday, taking a 25-20, 27-25 win over Meadowview Christian (the defending state champions) in the championship match. The Lady Knights beat Marengo Academy 25-20, 25-19 in their opening tournament game then beat Meadowview 25-14, 18-25, 15-11 and Edgewood Academy 25-12, 25-18. Meadowview, which battled back from the losers bracket of the double-elimination tournament, beat Northside 25-18, 25-20 to force a second championship match. The Lady Knights, though, won that one to take the crown. Emily Quattlebaum, who earned tournament MVP honors, led Northside with 38 kills and 15 aces over its five matches. Sarah Dennis delivered 30 assists and 10 kills and Merisa Niles had 16 kills and six blocks on the day. Both Dennis and Niles earned all-state tournament honors.
