In the record books, it will go down as a nondescript nonleague girls volleyball match in the California Interscholastic Federation's Southern Section.

But anyone who attended Sierra Canyon's 25-17, 25-16, 25-13 victory at Campbell Hall in North Hollywood Saturday will tell you it was much, much more.

The match was billed as the first of its kind in Southern California because it was played outdoors under the lights on the campus' football field.

And to celebrate Campbell Hall's Homecoming festivities, the backdrop included a full fledge carnival with ferris wheel and all. The contest was packed with fans.

Sierra Canyon, ranked third in the state according to SBLive Sports, probably wished it had dropped a game or two to lengthen the event.

The Trailblazers improved to 21-2 while Campbell Hall dropped to 10-9.
