BY JON SWISHER – SPORTS DIRECTOR:

The West Delaware Hawks Volleyball team came out determined to get back to the State Tournament in their Class 3A Regional Final Match inside Seedorff Gymnasium last night. WD earned the victory 3-0, winning 25-19/17/17. Total match score 75-53 in a contest that lasted one hour and three minutes. The Hawks qualified for the state tourney for the 15th time since 2003, fifth time in seven years and first since 2021. It will be the first time to state for all but two of the Hawks in Brooke Krogmann and Olivia Halverson and the first time at the newer venue of the Xtream Arena for everyone. The Hawks received the 3rd-seed and will open up Quarterfinal play at 12:25 Tuesday early afternoon against the 6-seed Davenport Assumption.
