Lady Braves end season at State

• England and Neuenschwander earn All-Conference The Star Valley Lady Braves completed a successful season at the Wyoming state volleyball tournament over the weekend. It was a good season with a disappointing ending as the program had aims on advancing in the bracket but were bounced in a pair of losses to eventual champion Kelly Walsh and 4A West champ Green River. The Trojans dropped just one set in the tournament, a 25-21 third frame to Cody in the championship game. Green River fell in four sets to the Cheyenne Central Indians after playing back to back five-set outings against Star Valley and Thunder Basin. The Lady Braves finished with an overall record of 21-17 and advanced to the state tournament for the 12th consecutive season. “It was a great season,” said head coach Kalin Schwab. “It went by very fast. The girls felt the same. They had a lot of fun and enjoyed each other. Kelly Walsh, the junior college tournament was in Casper and I think they could have won that.
