LIBBY — Thompson Falls won the final two sets to knock off Libby 25-14, 23-25, 25-23, 25-16 in Class 7B volleyball action on Tuesday.

The Loggers (4-5, 2-2) and Blue Hawks went point-for-point through the middle of the match before the hosts faltered down the stretch.

“It was quite the battle in the second and third sets,” Libby head coach Cindy Ostrem-Johnston said.

“And then we made a lot of mistakes in the last set and they kept playing steady. They’re a good team.”

Mehki Sykes led the way for the Loggers with eight kills and five blocks. Ashley Walker had 18 assists and India Croucher 13 digs for Libby.

The Blue Hawks were led by Madison Wheeler (10 kills) and Haley Wilson (15 assists, eight digs).
