Lady Cowboys Wrap Up Regular Season

The Lady Cowboys took their last district road game last week when they traveled to Leadore.  As mentioned in our last issue the Cowboys had to face Leadore in back to back weeks.  They lost the first match at North Gem and had hoped to turn things around in Leadore.  Unfortunately things would not go their way on the road.  The Cowboys lost the match in three straight sets with scores of 25-13, 25-13 and 25-9.  The loss has the Lady Cowboys sitting in seventh place in the district with one district game left on the schedule.  The Cowboys will face a non-conference foe first with a good warm up match on Tuesday against the Aberdeen JV squad.  Their final game before district tournament play, however, will be Taylor’s Crossing.  Taylor’s will come to Bancroft to face the Lady Cowboys on Thursday night.  The only previous match this season between the two squads took place on September 21st.  In that match North Gem was in control and won in four sets.  The Cowboys should be the favorites in Thursday’s match.  A win or a loss on Thursday will not move the needle much in the conference standings.  If things hold the last two weeks of the season with all of the district teams the Lady Cowboys could end up with yet another match against the Leadore Mustangs.  At this point that is all speculation and we should have a clearer picture of the district tournament by next week's edition.  Come cheer the Lady Cowboys on this week then stay tuned for when they will next be in action.
