State Volleyball

     On Thursday November 7th the Chadron volleyball team competed in the state tournament. They played Lincoln Lutheran and lost in three sets. The first set was 25-20, the second set 25-15, and the third set 25-19.
 Although the Lady Cards lost, they still played very well against a team that ended up winning state. Lauren Collins says the teams strong suit was having really strong attackers and defense. The season overall also went very well for the team, with many players breaking previous records. The team ended the season 31-8.
   Lauren says that going to state is a super fun experience and there's nothing truly like it. They worked all season to get there and working so hard to get there made the experience even better.
     This was the first trip to state that the team had been on in three years. They traveled eight hours to get there and stayed the night on the 6th, as the tournament started on the 7th and went until the ninth. During this tournament the best team plays the worst team, and the second best team plays the second worst team. Teams may also compete for fourth, third, and second place in a ''losers bracket''. If you lose your first game, you're out.
