CASPER – The two Bridger Valley teams returned to the State Championship Tournament this year for 3A Volleyball held in Casper Wyoming. Last year these two teams faced off in the Championship Match with Mountain View defeating the Lady Eagles.
Heading into the tournament this year the Lady Buffalos were the 2nd seed in the West with Lyman coming in as the 3rd. Both teams competed hard with the two teams combining for a 6-1 match record this weekend.
The Lady Buffalos would end up with a 9-1 set record and would win the State Championship for the 6th time in school history and their 2nd in a row
Lyman would be knocked out of 1st and 2nd place contention on day one against Douglas but would win the following two matches to compete for the 3rd place trophy against Douglas again. The Eagles would win and finish 3rd in the 3A conference.
