The Hays/Lodge Pole Thunderbird Volleyball team closed out its regular season this week. Saturday the team made the trip to Centerville to take on the Miners. Tuesday the Thunderbirds hosted the Chinook Sugarbeeters in their regular season finale.

Saturday in Centerville the Thunderbirds continued to challenge opponents to play hard but again failed to win a set. Junior, Alliya Pretty Paint served up an Ace in set one to keep the Thunderbirds close, 8-13 before falling 25-13 to the Miners. In set number two a big swing from Pretty Paint brought Hays/Lodge Pole to within seven at 12-19 before eventually falling 25-12. Centerville took the third set to complete the sweep 25-20.
