SIDNEY RED RAIDERS BEAT GERING TO BECOME CHAMPIONS

If one thing can be said about the Lady Raiders varsity volleyball squad it is this: the team’s toughness and ability to come together has been a hallmark of its 2015 season – and it earned Sidney a Class B, District 8 championship Tuesday night.

After beating back Scottsbluff in a 3-0 (25-22, 25-22, 25-19) battle that saw Payton Jung, Kelsey Knight and Maddi Porter combine for 34 points off kills at the net, the Lady Raiders embarked on a championship drive against Gering, winning 3-1 (25-21, 25-22, 21-25, 25-16) to advance to the sub-state level of playoffs this weekend.
