Coming off their seventh consecutive Seven Valleys Tournament win, the South Loup Lady Bobcats volleyball team (7-3) completely dominated their home triangular last Tuesday against Dundy County-Stratton 2-0 and another win against Brady 2-0.

The Tigers of DCS (Benkelman) were no match for the more athletic and more experienced Bobcats. The first set the Tigers only held the lead for the first 2 points, but after a serving ace by Talli Martin, the Bobcats found their stride and finished the set 25-8. The second set was even quicker with DCS never getting a lead and allowing the Bobcats to win 25-6.

With three freshmen starters, DCS was at a disadvantage against the strong upperclassmen leadership and experience of South Loup. The Bobcats tallied 18 kills total with Abby Stallbaumer leading with 5 kills, followed by Bryn Schwarz and Taylor Ross with 4 each. Charli Vickers served incredibly well with 4 of her 7 serves being aces and zero service errors.

While their game against the Eagles of Brady was a close one, this meeting of the teams was all Bobcats, with an easy win 25-10 and 25-15. South Loup had
