It was a frustrating season for the Badger
varsity volleyball team, scoring two wins in
their first three matches, including what would
be their only league win of the season, then
hitting a winless streak that lasted until their
final regular season game against Clark Fork,
and that one took five sets to sew up.
Their season ended in similar fashion, when they
fell to Priest River, the team with the best
regular season record in the Intermountain
League at 6-1, and then went two and out against
Kellogg, the league's tail end, who hadn't won a
league game during the regular season.
The Badgers opened district play against the
Spartans on Tuesday, October 16, falling 14-25,
11-25, 16-25. In that match, McKenzie McDonald
totted three kills, Savannah Woods made four
assists, Camille Awbrey had one ace and a block
and Desirae Minor, who, along with Allyson
Merrifield earned spots on the All-IML team,
came in with six digs.
On Thursdays, the Badgers played to heartbreak
in a loser out match with Kellogg, staying right
up with the Wildcats but not able to close and
finish off their opponent.
Kellogg avenged their early season loss to the
Badgers, 23-25, 26-28, 15-25, to move on, only
to fall to Priest River.
Kendra Merritt had two blocks, Jailee Foster
nine digs, Merrifield scored two ace serves,
Jasmin Hill had five kills, Emma Kelly had six
assists and Woods came through with seven
assists.
In the league title game, Timberlake defeated
Priest River; at state, the Tigers went two and
out, falling to Sugar Salem and Snake River.
Priest River taking the league's second slot,
defeated Buhl, Shelley and Kimberly, falling to
Fruitland to face Fruitland in the state
championship game. Fruitland took the state
title, winning 25-18, 25-19, 25-17, giving
Priest River second.
