The Centerville seniors, a group of seasoned athletes, rallied their teammates, and the team fought back with determination.

The turning point came as the Elk seniors showcased their skill and experience, thwarting Fairmont's plans for an upset. With each match, the Elks steadily closed the gap and, ultimately, emerged victorious with a final score of 39-29.
