DEWITT — Deja vu struck again on Tuesday night as the Clinton River Queens (15-15) went into the ‘Saber Den’ at Central DeWitt High School and stunned the Sabers in five sets to eliminate them for the fourth straight year. 

In each of the past four seasons it has been Clinton knocking out the Sabers in the first round of the IGHSAU Class 4A playoffs. However, each of the past three seasons Clinton has had to play on the road in DeWitt, knocking them off in five sets.
