VOLLEYBALL REGIONALS SET

In all, eight teams are alive in the largest division for a state championship, giving the area a good chance percentage-wise at picking up a win. Mount Carmel, of coures, is the odds-on favorite.

In Division II, four teams have a shot at playing for the championship. But they don't start regionals until Thursday.
