NE v-ball finals booked

Playoffs for the NE volleyball, which were originally slated to start this week, were moved back a week because of the number of players attending the FFA nationals.

Colfax is scheduled to play Wilbur/Creston here Tuesday, Nov. 5. The remainder of district action will be at Liberty Nov. 7 and Nov. 9.

Colfax and Liberty tied at 9-1 on the south side, but the Lancers were seeded as the top team because they hold a higher slot from a pre-season draw which was conducted to resolve ties.

Wilbur/Creston defeated Davenport in four sets in final north side action last Thursday.

Top four NE finishers after the Nov. 9 final round at Liberty will advance to the state tournament the next week at Yakima.

Colfax swept the Timberwolves at Tekoa last Thursday to finish a 9-1 run in the league.

Colfax defeated TR 25-19, 25-14, 25-9 last Thursday at Tekoa.

Kierstyn York hit nine kills against the T-wolves, and Justice Brown hit nine aces and had 18 assists. Annalee Cox had 12 blocks. Leading TR were Elise Wilkins, five kills and two digs; Trista Bogenreif, 10 assists; Maddie Hall and Delani Lehn, each three aces, and Lehn, five blocks.
