Battle Mountain volleyball team hosts annual invitational

Battle Mountain High School and the Junior High School were busy last weekend as the Lady Longhorns hosted their annual volleyball invitational. The varsity tournament included 13 teams, while the junior varsity side featured nine schools. Battle Mountain breezed to victories in pool play over Carlin, Jackpot and Wells. The Lady Longhorns held Carlin to just two points in the opening set of their match on Friday morning. The tournament concluded on Saturday with more pool matches and the championship match, which took the top team from each of the two pools.

Battle Mountain opens Northern 2A play on the road this weekend, starting on Friday at North Tahoe. The JV match begins at 4 p.m., with the varsity to follow. The Lady Longhorns stay in Lake Tahoe and take on Incline on Saturday at noon and 1 p.m.
