OGEMAW HEIGHTS - Oct. 3, 2007 - Ogemaw Heights stayed unbeaten in North East Michigan Conference play, but not without a battle.

Oscoda took the first game of the NEMC match on Wednesday, but the Falcons came back to sweep the last three 22-25, 25-18, 25-16, 25-17.

"We started out slow and sluggish," said Ogemaw coach Diane Gillette. "We had a lot of unforced errors on serve and serve receive in the first game. We picked it up in the next three games, stayed focused and hit the holes."

"We had to (make) some changes to our lineup this week," said Oscoda coach Laura Franklin. "I was pleased with how well everyone adapted. We have a lot of potential; it is just trying to put it to use."
