The Lady Hawks hosted St. Labre on Tuesday, October 5th, with the Lady Hawks handily beating the Class B Lady Braves in three straight sets, 25-4, 25-11, and 25-12.

That move would prove prescient as several of those younger players would step up to play in a high pressure match on Saturday, as Broadus traveled to the Ekalaka...
