GOOD LUCK
The Hugoton varsity football team traveled to Colby Friday night for a showdown of the Eagles versus the Eagles. Of course the Eagles won, as one would predict. But it didn't quite have the outcome the Hugoton Eagles had hoped for. The hosting team took the win of 0-21 over Hugoton. Colby scored a touchdown in the opening quarter to lead 0-7. This score held through halftime. Colby scored a touchdown in the third quarter and added the two-point conversion. This set the score at 0-15. The final touchdown came in the fourth quarter with a failed extra point attempt. "We lost a tough one," commented coach Clint Merritt. "We were never able to get in the end zone even
though we had a few opportunities. We drove inside the 20 several times, but we were not able to capitalize. Defensively, we gave up a couple of big plays that lead to touchdowns." Hugoton had 182 yards in rushing and 46 yards in the passing game. Yates Sutton carried the ball for 50 yards, Ross Davis 69, Garett Walker 40, Cordell Barnes 18 and Michael Baeza five. Sutton connected four passes on the night. He hit Baeza for 31 yards, Zane Littell for six, Reid Davis for eight and Ross Davis for one. On defense, Sutton had an interception. Mitchell Persinger recovered a fumble. Bradley Campbell led the team in tackles with 24 total. Reid Davis sacked the quarterback for a five yard loss.

Volleyball athletes had a busy week this past week. All three levels participated in competition on the road and at home. The week started with a Cteam road event hosted by Lakin High School. The Eagles battled Lakin and Elkhart at the triangular. Despite great effort, the Eagles fell in both matches. Catie LeNeve led the stats in hitting as well as in blocks at the net. Sarah Johnson led the team in passing. She is the libero for the team. Tuesday, the junior varsity and varsity squads travelled to Elkhart for a quadrangular meet. The JV Eagles made their presence known with a two-game win against Syracuse to open the night of play. They doubled the win column with a similar twogame win over Sublette. The final match was a battle with the host, and it went to three games where Hugoton ultimately lost. Sofia Jimenez led the team in setting assists along with Megan Cornelsen. Estefani Armendariz and Carly Martin provided the team with strong passing. An aggressive night at the net led to many kills and stuff blocks. Taylor Haar and Riley Sosa were highlighted for their part of that great net play. The 2-1 night boosted Hugoton's JV record to 16-4. The varsity competition started with mirrored results, downing Syracuse and Sublette in quick work. Defensive efforts were led by BayLee Hoskinson and Chastity Parsons in the wins. Eklhart was the final opponent for Hugoton's varsity team. The Wildcats took

The Eagles fought back and tied the game count with a win in game two, sending it to a third and decisive game. Back-to-back game wins secured the match victory for Hugoton. "In their final game of the night, they started out with a game deficit to play two strong games back to back and take the win from Elkhart," said coach Katie Szymczak. Karessa Nordyke and Nicole Kinser led the team in the kills column. The trio of wins pushed the varsity record to 13-5. With one day of practice between competition, the varsity and junior varsity Eagles played host to Guymon Thursday for dual matches. The C-team also participated in the head-to-head competi-

tion, taking Guymon in two games. "All players stepped up their intensity level and focused. There were only five total missed serves," said coach Szymczak. Hugoton's JV was defeated in two matches by Guymon. "The ladies couldn't get their rhythm and hold point sets," reported coach Szymczak. In a best out of five games, the varsity Eagles clinched a four-game match win, adding to the season record. The scores were recorded at 25-17, 25-14, 23-25, 2523 for the victory. Josie Mueller provided 16 good serves with three aces. Parsons worked hard at the libero position and dug the ball 49 times. The team combined for 27 blocks. Kinser was responsible for 23 kills while Ana Pena had 18 as-
sists. The trio of Eagle teams will play at Holcomb Thursday. Junior varisty and varsity competition will be hosted by Southwestern Heights Saturday.
