Lady Tigers fall in district championship

Last Monday and Tuesday became a rollercoaster ride for the Lady Tigers volleyball team as they stunned the #1 seed Ash Grove Lady Pirates on Monday but struggled to find the magic on Tuesday as they were swept by the Miller Cardinals in the Class 2, District 11 Championship match at Diamond High School. After knocking off New Heights Christian the previous week, the Lady Tigers were matched up against Ash Grove in a district semifinal matchup on Monday evening. The Lady Pirates, who entered the contest as the #1 seed, boasted a 24-8-1 record entering the contest. The Lady Tigers, playing arguably their best volleyball of the season, throttled Ash Grove in the first two sets, 25-15 and 25-18. Ash Grove rallied to take the third set, 20-25, but the Lady Tigers grabbed the fourth and final set in a close game, 25-23. Shia Roberts led the team in digs with 15 while teammates Brylee Norman and Asia Graham both recorded double digit digs.
