Charlo claims 10C crown; Bucs bust broncs

Charlo 3, Arlee 0

At Arlee last Thursday, the visiting Lady Vikings recouped an earlier loss at home to the visiting Scarlets last month by returning the favor in straight sets. The first encounter between these two 10C rivals extended to a fifth set and hinged on some key Scarlet defensive plays that tilted the outcome in the favor of Arlee.

This time around, Charlo gave their hosts little quarter and swept in straight sets. The Lady Viking defensive front curtailed Scarlet attempts to pound the ball over the net, while Charlo’s Sienna Brown had a beast of a night with 19 kills and a dozen digs to counter the offensive output of Arlee.

The Scarlet defense was solid in scooping out 67 digs and out blocked Charlo with Carly Hergett stuffing a quintet of blocks.

The Lady Vikings wrapped up the 10C conference crown. Charlo (10-1, 11-3) faces 9C Victor next, while Arlee (6-3, 8-5) visits Noxon this Thursday and travels to Hot Springs on Saturday as they wrap up their season.

Bucs bust Broncs

Polson 3, Frenchtown 1

At Frenchtown last Tuesday, the visiting Lady Pirates rattled off three straight after dropping their opening set to emerge in the saddle of this NWA road rage matchup between Frenchtown and Polson.

After their unsettled first set was dropped, it was mostly pillaging and plundering by the Pirates who didn’t drop another set thereafter, reigning in the Lady Broncs by corralling them in the teens in two of the final three sets. Jaiden Toth was a Bronc bustin nemesis, elevating her game to counter the level of the competition with 10 kills, 90 aces, 27 assists and 23 digs.

Polson had a baker’s dozen more spikes than formidable Frenchtown while thwarting the Lady Broncs defensively with a finger numbing 76 digs with Libby Clay, Sarah Rausch, Lydia Dupuis and Taylor Davis scooping out a combined 41 for a double digit average apiece.
