Rilyn Richardson makes a play at the net against Lincoln in a game during district tournaments two weeks ago.
Despite playing some hard-fought games, the Lady Blackhawks will not be traveling to state tournaments this week. The team placed fifth overall in divisionals last week, winning against Valley Christian and losing against Drummond and Philipsburg.
"I couldn't be more proud of them as individuals and especially the team they became and finished the season as," Lady Blackhawk Coach Janelle Greenwood said.
Greenwood said each volleyball player had moments where they were outstanding. All the girls were playing with heart and grit, and Greenwood said it was obvious they were playing for each other as a team.
Greenwood said team captains Kilty Hanson, Darby Gleason and Rilyn Richardson led the team and were "relentless, no matter the situation," and Kylie Brewer played as an alternate but was a "phenomenal teammate all season," Greenwood said. The seniors maintained the "mental toughness" that kept the team going, and Kendall Genson and Hanson led in kills.
"Overall, I think we played our best games at the end of season tournaments," Greenwood said. "It was a great year with an insane amount of improvement for each individual player and we put it all together when it mattered most."
