"Our section is tough - really tough," said Lakers coach Mike Dean. "We have had some success against the teams in our section this season, but we know that the section at the end of the year is a different animal and teams will come out bringing their best.

"Our goal is to play up to our ability every time we get on the court and we feel if we do that we have a shot against any team in the section," added Dean. "We are looking forward to the challenge and hope to keep playing at a high level on the court."

In the win over Farmington, junior Olivia Spanton chipped in 11 kills, two ace serves and eight digs. Junior Ella Francis had eight kills and two blocks, while ninth-grader CC McGraw had six kills and 14 digs.

Senior Sammi Pratt led in set assists with 25, while sophomore Ellie Veldman had 18, along with six digs. Senior Brittany Luethmers finished with 37 digs. Ninth-grader Kayla Bair chipped in two blocks.

"I felt like we played some good defense against Farmington for the most part and did a nice job of limiting their hitters options against us," said Dean. "Offensively we had some good runs, but our consistency was not quite where we would like it to be.

"Farmington got some balls up that we thought were going to be down and I think that knocked us off our game a little bit," added Dean. "They were really scrappy and didn't let any plays die, which is something we expect in our conference and we will keep seeing into sections."
