Harrisburg volleyball defeats Dell Rapids after mid-match gym change
Summary

Class AA top-ranked Harrisburg defeated Class A second-ranked Dell Rapids 3-1 in a volleyball match on September 10, 2026. The contest was interrupted during the second set when a cable holding a basketball hoop to the ceiling snapped, causing the equipment to drop. No injuries were reported, but officials moved the competition from the original venue to the local middle school to finish play. The transition resulted in a reduced capacity for spectators. Harrisburg secured the second set following the delay to establish a 2-0 match lead, and despite dropping the third set, the team won the fourth to finalize the victory. Harrisburg is scheduled to travel to the Durango Classic in Las Vegas on September 18, while Dell Rapids hosts Canton on September 15.
