It was a moment most of the people who were at Dallastown High School on Friday have seen before — several times in fact.

At the same time, it was also something the Northeastern volleyball family hopes to see again in two weeks.

Winning championships never gets old.

On Friday, the Bobcats did what they've done for three straight years and six of the last seven: Win the District 3 Class AA championship.

This time the victim was a sneaky Lancaster Mennonite squad that pushed Northeastern in the middle set, only to see the Bobcats recover in grand fashion. Northeastern swept the Blazers, 25-17, 25-18, 25-17.

Afterward, junior Reese Devilbiss donned district gold for the third time in as many years.

"It's a great feeling. We come out here and do this for the fans, for the coaches and for school pride," he said. "Who gets tired of winning? It never gets old. We enjoy doing this every year."
