Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First
The Potter-Dix Lady Coyotes swept the Minuteman Activities Conference tournament hosted at Bayard on Saturday, Oct. 15.
The first game pitted the Potter-Dix girls, ranked first in their district, against the Minatare Indians for a handy win in two sets, 25-9, 25-8.
At the end of the first round of games, the field was cut from eight teams to four, with the Lady Coyotes facing hosts, the Bayard Tigers. Once again, just two sets later the aggressive Potter-Dix club chalked up another win, 25-17, 25-22.
And then, there were two. It came down to the rivals, the Lady Warriors of Leyton High School, ranked second in the district, but the Lady Coyotes handily bested their opponents in two sets, 25-10 and 25-14.
The day ended with the Potter-Dix Lady Coyotes named champions with the Leyton girls as runners-up and the Bayard Tigers taking third place.
The Lady Coyotes played the Lady Warriors at the Banner County triangular on Tuesday, Oct. 18 (stats were not available at press time) before taking a week of rest prior to hosting the Creek Valley Storm in the Coyotes Den on Tuesday, Oct. 25.
