The Thompson Falls volleyball girls started their weekend off with a three game win against the Plains Trotters.  The scores were 25-17, 25-16 and 25-15.  Thompson Falls then took on Eureka in a five game match that ended in Eureka’s win.  The scores were kept close in all five games, with Thompson Falls losing game one and two both 25-20.  The Lady Hawks came back for the win in game three and four 25-15 and 25-19.  Game five was played tight, but Erueka pulled out with the win 11-15. 

Thompson Falls met Troy next in District play and won the four game match.  The Lady Hawks stomped Troy in the first game of the match, winning 25-11.  Troy recuperated and won the close second game 23-25.  Thompson Falls went on to win the next two games, beating Troy 25-17 and 25-19.

“We are playing well right now, the kids are at the top of their game and we are just going out and playing hard,” said Thompson Falls head coach Sandra Kazmierczak. 

Kyla Molzhon led the game against Troy with 16 kills and 15 digs.  Hannah Peters had eight kills, three aces and ten digs.  Hope Reid had six kills and seven blocks.
