LEON — After hitting a couple of speed bumps over the weekend, Humboldt High’s Lady Cubs ended the 2020 regular season in style Tuesday.
Humboldt swept past Fredonia and host Bluestem on the volleyball court, and in so doing, earned a share of the Tri-Valley League crown, along with Eureka.
“We played some of our best volleyball to end the regular season,” head coach Terry Meadows said. “We fought hard as a team.”
Humboldt cruised to a 25-23 and 25-16 win over Bluestem. Jada Dangerfield racked up seven kills, to go with three digs and an ace. Kirstyn Murrow added six kills, two aces, seven assists and four digs. Jessica Myers chipped in with four kills. Kenisyn Hottenstein led with 13 assists. Isabelle Murrow and Kirsten Kobold both added three digs.
The win over Fredonia was never in doubt, with the Lady Cubs rolling to a 25-7 and 25-19 win.
Dangerfield and Myers shared team honors with six kills apiece. Kady Hart added four and Kirstyn Murrow three. Myers also had three blocks and five digs, while Nautianna Goforth had two blocks. Kirstyn Murrow was dealing aces aplenty — six in all — while leading with 15 assists, followed by Kobold with two aces and three digs.
Humboldt (19-12) next gears up for the Class 2A Substate Tournament, with a potential state berth on the line. The competition looks to be fierce, with six teams in the tournament at or above the .500 mark.
