Rallying from a first-set loss, Win-E-Mac (ranked No. 10 in Class A) beat the Northern Freeze, 20-25, 25-18, 15-9 in the championship game of the Ada-Borup Invitational Saturday, Sept. 11.  The two Section 8A rivals should be the favorites to represent the small schools of the Northwest at the state tournament -- and Saturday's results certainly proved it.
