Devils and Huskies spikers await regional draw

See, Eagle Valley and Battle Mountain have something in common.

Devils and Huskies volleyball will wait together after finishing their regular seasons at tournaments this weekend. Both are going to regionals, but where is the question, particularly for the Huskies.

The Devils finished the season at 20-3 with a 2-1 showing at Evergreen. They beat TCA, 23-25, 25-14, 15-9, lost to the hosts, 25-22, 11-25, 25-12, and swept Denver Science and Tech, 25-9, 25-14.



Eagle Valley played without senior setter Molly Jewett, who is resting her sprained ankle.

As of the 5 p.m. Saturday posting of the rating-percentage index on chsaanow.com, the Devils are ranked No. 3 and should host a regional tournament next week in Gypsum.

Meanwhile, Battle Mountain (14-9) went 2-2 at a tourney in Coal Ridge. The Huskies lost to Pagosa Springs, 25-20, 25-15, beat Glenwood Springs, 25-22, 25-14, fell to Delta, 16-25, 25-22, 15-13, and beat Coal Ridge, 25-23, 26-24, 21-25, 17-25, 15-12.

As of the last RPI standings, the Huskies were ranked No. 14 with a record of 13-9, meaning the Coal Ridge match had not been processed by the computer. The Huskies are crossing their collective fingers that the win might jump them into No. 12, the last spot to host a regional tournament.

In 2A action, both Vail Mountain and Vail Christian saw their seasons end at the district tournament in Parachute.

VMS (14-7) beat Soroco, but lost to West Grand. The Saints (10-11) topped Hayden, but fell to Meeker. Paonia, Meeker and West Grand will represent the 2A Slope in regionals.
