NC Mavericks Advance To State: Claim Second AtEastern C Divisional

Mavericks went to the Divisional Tournament, going in as the third seed from the 1C District tournament, and emerged with a second-place trophy and a trip to the State Tournament for the third consecutive season in a row. This was a major accomplishment for us, considering we went through some sickness last week at Districts and still had some lingering this week. The girls rocked it and earned a trip to Bozeman. 

First match of the tournament was on Thursday at 2 p.m. vs Broadus our rival from last season. We came away with a win in 5 sets.
