NET-MINDING BELLE COOPER hits a shot against Troy at TFHS last Thursday. Lady Hawks won this match in three sets and will host Eureka Saturday in another District 7B match.
Maybe they should be called the Bash Sisters.
If you put the ball in front of them up at the net, they will gladly bash that tri-colored ball right back at you, again and again, until it finally does not come back. And then they will wait patiently, until the next bashing session arrives, and repeat the process.
The Thompson Falls Lady Hawks bashed out two more easy District 7B volleyball wins last week, trouncing Troy 25-13, 25-14, 25-13 in Thompson Falls Thursday and traveling to Bigfork Saturday to blast the homestanding Vals 25-8, 25-10, 25-13.
Now winners of four straight matches and eight of their last nine, the Lady Hawks were to have played Stillwater Christian in Kalispell Tuesday (results were not available at press time). The Lady Hawks host Eureka, the last team to defeat them, as part of homecoming week Saturday. The Lions defeated the Hawks in five tough sets in a conference match in Eureka a few weeks ago.
Thompson Falls will wrap up play for the week visiting Mission for another 7B match next Tuesday.
The Bash Sisters are making Sandra Kazmierczak a very happy head coach.
"We are playing very well right now," she said. "The girls are pushing themselves, playing very well together and enjoying themselves doing it. It is just a very fun team to coach."
Riley Wilson directed the Lady Hawk net attack against Troy with 21 set assists, Scarlette Schwindt slammed four service aces and hit nine digs, Jody Detlaff executed nine kills and Brooke Bowlin seven, and Detlaff, Belle Cooper and Elli Pardee threw up two stuff blocks apiece.
Montana Rice (three kills), Katelyn Tallmadge (three assists), Mazzy Hermes (two aces and six digs) and Ella Pierce (four blocks) led Troy.
The Bash Sisters made quick work of the Vals in Bigfork as well.
Wilson hit 25 assists in that match, Schwindt was good for nine digs, 10 kills and three aces, Detlaff had 10 kills, three aces and a block, Bowlin smacked a team-high six aces and added nine blocks, and Cooper also floored nine kills.
Statistics from Bigfork's effort in the match were not available.
