It was a David versus Goliath comparison on Monday night during the East Penn Conference semifinal match between Parkland and Northampton.

However, in this scenario, Goliath came out on top, as the undefeated Trojans kept their unblemised mark on the season sweeping the K-Kids in three sets 25-17, 25-17, 25-9 to roar into last night's East Penn Conference championship against Emmaus.

The results of that contest were past Press deadlines, but Parkland (16-0) has been and will continue to be the favorite to walk away with league and district hardware, as the Trojans haven't dropped a set during the regular season, displaying their ability to overpower a team with their skill and depth during Monday's bout with the Kids.

Northampton came out of the gates to battle, as they used their energy to push Parkland in the first two sets before eventually succumbing in both by identical 25-17 scores.

Parkland head coach Scott Trumbauer felt things played out how he thought they would on Monday night.

"This is what I hoped would have happened for our guys," said Trumbauer. "I think Northampton started out with a lot of enthusiasm and we didn't match it early enough than I would have liked, but we finally did at the end."

By the time the third set came into play, Northampton (9-6) seemed to be mentally deflated with the task at hand.

Kids' head coach Dave Faust was proud of the effort his team put forth, but was also realistic about the circumstances playing against one of the best volleyball teams in the state.

"Parkland is the most fundamentally sound team and the game just naturally comes to them," Faust said. "We got a lot of over-achievers and they do fantastic, but it's hard to match players against the likes of Parkland."

Kyle Stout, who recently committed to Lafayette to play basketball, led the way for Parkland with 13 kills on the night, while Jack Dreisbach, another key member of the basketball team and Sean Lewis each knocked down eight kills apiece.

Andrew Hillman had a complete game with, dishing out 18 assists, along with four kills, five aces, three blocks and eight digs.

The Kids now move forward to Friday's opening round of the District 11 tournament as the third-seed against sixth-seeded Whitehall. Northampton has lost both meetings to the Zephyrs this season, falling to Whitehall in their season opener in five sets, while dropping their latest contest in four sets back on May 4.

"Both matches were back and forth and for some reason they [Whitehall] they really get up for us," said Faust. "We know each other very well, but the last time we played them, we left a lot of points on the table. We just need to clean our game up and if we can do that, we'll have a different result."
