The Lady Cowboys celebrate their win over Altuas Prep on Saturday.
The Lady Cowboys played in two matches last week against a pair of teams on opposite ends of the spectrum. First up North Gem traveled to Grace Lutheran to face the Lady Royals who in recent years have become a powerhouse in volleyball. This was the second meeting of the teams this season. The first match took place at North Gem and saw the Lady Cowboys fall in three competitive sets. In Thursday’s matchup North Gem got off to a slow start. The Cowboys struggled to get going on offense and dropped the first set. The second set was a completely different story. The set was very competitive, extending well past the twenty five point threshold but once again the Cowboys came up short. In the third set the Cowboys were able to stay with the Royals keeping the game close but once again came up short in the end and lost the match in three straight sets.
After a day to recover the Lady Cowboys hosted Alturas Prep from Idaho Falls. This match with the Lady Pumas was a see-saw affair. North Gem came out firing on all cylinders. The Cowboys looked as if they would run away with the match after cruising to a dominant win in set one. As often happens in volleyball the momentum took a major shift in set two as the Pumas laid it to the Cowboys winning the set by the same margin that they lost the first one. In set three the Cowboys were able to bounce back and once again take control of the match. North Gem pulled away in the third set to take a two sets to one lead in the match. In the fourth set the Lady Cowboys were able to keep a hold of the momentum and once again cruise to an easy win taking the set and winning the match.
North Gem continues their season Thursday night when they host Clark County then again on Saturday when they host American Heritage. Both games are favorable matchups for the Cowboys. Two wins could help North Gem when it comes to seeding the district tournament at the end of the season.
Cowboys 7 26 22
Royals 25 28 25
Cowboys 25 3 25 25
Pumas 3 25 9 8
