The second-ranked 2A Ellinwood Eagles continued their reign of dominance in the Central Prairie League (CPL) volleyball tournament, clinching their eighth-straight league title Saturday. The Eagles went a perfect 6-0 on the day, not dropping a single set, and pushed their season record to 32-2.
“I was proud of the girls’ level of consistency all day,” said Ellinwood head coach Greg Maxwell. “We’re working on key aspects on our side of the net to raise our standard of play moving forward. It was a successful day, and I really liked how the team reacted in pressure situations in the finals, making the plays we needed to when it mattered most.”
Ellinwood’s dominance was on full display throughout the tournament as they overwhelmed their opponents with both precision and power. With every player contributing, the Eagles showcased the depth and determination that have made them one of the top 2A teams in Kansas.
Coach Maxwell also acknowledged the significance of the program’s success over the past decade. “It’s special for our program to earn an eighth-straight title. I’m proud of all the girls who have been part of these CPL Tournament Championships,” Maxwell added.
As the Eagles prepare to enter the postseason, they’ll look to carry this momentum forward and make another deep run, keeping their eyes on a potential state championship.
For Ellinwood, this CPL title win is not just another trophy but a testament to years of hard work, commitment, and excellence—qualities that continue to define the Eagles’ volleyball program.
