Top-ranked Janesville frustrates North Butler in 1A regional semifinal

JANESVILLE – No matter what North Butler did against the defending state champions Janesville, the Bearcats were unable to make a dent in the armor of the top-ranked team in Class 1A.
The results was a 25-11, 25-5, 25-19 sweep of the Bearcats at Janesville in the Region 5 semifinal on Thursday, Oct. 27.
North Butler never led and tied the Wildcats just once – at 1-all in the opening set. And then Janesville did what it does to even bigger opponents: go on dominant runs. By the time Bearcat head coach Bryan Tabbert called his first timeout, the Wildcats held an 8-2 lead.
