HARRISON FLATS — The Wampus Cats wrapped up a perfect North Star League campaign with a 25-8, 25-12, 25-8 victory over the host Warriors.
For Kootenai (0-14, 0-4 NSL), Kaylee Lupo had 18 digs and three assists, Keira Bohannon seven assists, Callie Smith 13 digs, Chloe Dorman five blocks, Callie Smith and Tuesday Glessner two aces each.
“There are not enough words to describe how proud of these young ladies I am,” Kootenai coach Lacey Bohannon said. “They absolutely played their hearts out tonight. The score is just a number, it does not tell how hard they played. It doesn't tell how many volleys they had. It doesn't show the fire and teamwork that they had. It doesn't show how much better they are getting at the overall game.”
Kootenai will play Mullan on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at North Idaho College in the loser-out semifinal of the 1A Division II District 1 tournament. The winner plays Clark Fork (11-4, 4-0) in the championship match Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at NIC.
