MAKING A PLAY at a tough serve, Lady Hawks Ariana Wood and Cheyla Irvine in action at Saturday's match with Anaconda at TFHS. Lady Hawks travel to Eureka for a District 7B conference match this Saturday.

The Lady Hawks may have lost to Anaconda Saturday at TFHS gym, but you will not hear coach Sandra Kazmierczak complaining about it. In fact, it was just the opposite.

"Wasn't that a great match?" she asked. "Anaconda is a very solid team with a good bench. We played well but they played a little better. We will take this as a positive learning experience and move on; we will be fine, we just need to keep playing together."

Moving on this week means hosting Plains Tuesday (results of that match were not available at press time), visiting Eureka Saturday and traveling to Arlee next Tuesday.

The Eureka match is the only District 7B affair, and the Lady Lions are now coached by long-time Plains Trotter assistant coach Todd Brouillette, who moved with his family to the Eureka area recently.

"We know Eureka had some good players back from last year," Kazmierczak said. "We will see what type of game they are playing now Saturday."

The Lady Hawks, besides dropping the tough match to Anaconda, also won another non-conference home match from Deer Lodge last Thursday, taking it 25-18, 26-24, 25-13.

ON THE BLOCK - Lady Hawks Riley Wilson and Jody Detlaff rise up on a block attempt against Anaconda Saturday.

Scarlette Schwindt led the Lady Hawks to that win with 11 kills, five digs and eight assists, Cheyla Irvine added six kills and two service aces, Jody Detlaff two blocks and seven digs, Riley Wilson two blocks and 14 set assists, and Ariana Wood two service aces.

In the 25-23, 21-25, 25-21, 25-18 loss to Anaconda, Schwindt blasted 17 kills, passed out 10 assists and hit an ace, Detlaff powered down nine kills, blocked five shots and hit another ace, Wilson dished out 20 assists and hit 11 digs, Wood collected a team-high 17 digs and Danni VanHuss added two blocks.

Kazmierczak said the Lady Hawks are a team on the rise.

"We are having fun, everybody is stepping up," she said. "We are using a new rotation and it is working well, giving some of the kids the chance to do different things, and they are enjoying it."
