It seemed, on numerous occasions, top-seeded Wayzata was down for the count. But the Trojans found a way to battle back each time, picking up a 24-26, 28-26, 25-18, 25-15 victory over No. 4 seed Osseo on Tuesday night in a Class 3A, Section 5 semifinal at Wayzata High School. 

“We started slow, but to Osseo’s credit they came in with a game plan,” said Wayzata coach Scott Jackson.
