LUSK – Homecoming weekend was another tough one for the Niobrara County High School volleyball team as Lingle-Fort Laramie took the win at Tiger Gym Friday evening.
The Lady Tigers struggled from the outset as the visitors opened a 9-3 lead and increased it to 17-5. NCHS slowed their run but it wasn’t enough in the 25-11 first set loss.
Coming out of the break, Lusk was scrambling and playing inspired ball, leading 6-5 early. The second set was tied at eight and 10 before the Lady Doggers pulled ahead and managed to win 25-20.
L-FL and NCHS traded leads four times early, but a 10-1 run was too much to overcome for the Lady Tigers in the 25-16 third set loss.

On Saturday, the Lady Tigers visited Sioux County, Neb., and despite battling back and forth, came up short in the 25-23 first set.
Mental errors and inconsistent play once again kept NCHS from tying the match in another close set, but the Lady Warriors held on for the 25-18 win.
With a Homecoming dance waiting back home, the Lady Tigers couldn’t keep up with a spirited home squad in the 25-9 third set score.
