Jay County got a first-round bye in the tournament draw. The Fort Recovery and South Adams volleyball teams will have to take a longer path.

The Patriots and Homestead picked up a bye in today's IHSAA tournament draw and will meet each other in the semifinal round of the Class 4A tournament at Fort Wayne North Side.

Fort Recovery, which found out its tournament fate Sunday, will play Lima Central Catholic in the opening round of the Division III tournament at Van Wert, and South Adams will host Bishop Luers in the IHSAA's Class 2A Sectional 38.

In Class 4A's Sectional 6, Jay County will play Homestead in the second of two semifinal matches Saturday, Oct. 24, at 12:30 p.m.

The tournament will open Thursday, Oct. 22, with Huntington North taking on the host Redskins at 6 p.m. and Fort Wayne South Side playing Marion at 7:30 p.m. The winners of those matches will play in Saturday's first semifinal match at 11 a.m.

The championship match will be Saturday at 7 p.m.

Jay County (4-22) does not play Homestead during the regular season. The Patriots are 1-1 against sectional opponents with a 29-31, 25-20, 25-11, 27-25 win over South Side and a 25-19, 25-23 loss to Marion at the Jay County Invitational.
