November 8, 2017

The Chinook Sugarbeeters concluded their volleyball season at the Northern C Divisional going 1-2.

They began the tournament with a hard fought five set win over the Simms Tigers 20-25, 25-20, 16-25, 25-16, 16-14.

Chinook and Simms were the first match of the Northern C and began play bright and early with a 9:00 a.m. start.

The Tigers pulled away at the end of the first set to win the opener 25-20. The Sugarbeeters rose to the occasion in set number two, bouncing back with a 25-20 set win of their own to even the match at 1-1.

The Tigers regrouped and cruised to a 25-16 third set win but again the Sugarbeeters had an answer and matched the Tigers with a 25-16 fourth set win to even the match at 2-2.

The fifth set was a back and fourth affair. Chinook took the early lead 6-1 but the tigers battled all the way back and held a 14-12 lead when Chinook Head Coach Molly Rose called timeout.

The 'Beeters responded with junior Kourtney Hanson picking up a huge block at the net to even the score at 14-14. Moments later Hanson's attack rolled up the arms of the Tiger player and Chinook had won the fifth set 16-14 and the match 3-2.

Hanson led the 'Beeter attack with nine kills and nine blocks, senior Sierra Swank added 29 digs and 13 assists. Senior Carrie Hofer served up four aces

The Sugarbeeters then faced the Great Falls Central Catholic Mustangs in a quarterfinal match were they were defeated in straight sets 25-16, 25-16, 25-15.

In a loser out contest Friday afternoon the Sugarbeeters were in another five set thriller. This one however went the way of the Fort Benton Longhorns 18-25, 25-13, 21-25, 25-20, 15-12.

The Sugarbeeters were led in the match by Hanson's 10 kills. Junior Lincy Johnson recorded 18 digs and Swank set the hitters up with 16 assists.

Chinook concludes the season with an overall record of 11-10 and were 10-4 against District 6C-East opponents.

The Sugarbeeters will return plenty of experience nest fall and will look to be back at the Northern C Divisional in 2018.

Harlem's trip to the Northern B is something they can build on

The Harlem Wildcat volleyball team dropped both matches they played at the Northern B Divisional in Malta but their presence at the tournament is surely something the program can build upon.

The Wildcats opened play at the Northern B against the top seeded Choteau Bulldogs out of the District 1B.

Chouteau won the match 25-12, 25-8, 25-10. Harlem was led by the efforts of Eleesha Bell with three kills, Michael Anne Humphreys and Raegan Conlan each dug up six balls.

Harlem's season ended in a loser out contest against the top seed out of the District 2B Glasgow Scotties 25-22, 25-14, 25-8. Bell again had three kills and Skylee Dirden recorded four blocks.

Making it to the Divisional Tournament is a great program builder and Harlem will be able to look back on this experience and grow from it when they begin practice next August.
