Five Pony spikers tabbed for postseason honors

For the second straight season, the Havre High volleyball team made it all the way to the Class A state tournament. So, it should come as no surprise that a host of Blue Ponies earned postseason awards for 2020.

Under first-year head coach Stephanie Huse, five Blue Ponies earned Northeast A All-Conference accolades, while a pair of HHS standouts were named Class A All-State.

Havre High senior Talia Ralph and Blue pony sophomore Yelena Miller were both named All-State this fall, and were two of six players from the Northeast to make the All-State squad. Miller and Ralph were also named First-Team All-Conference.

Blue Pony senior libero Sydney Wilting also earned Second-Team honors for the Ponies, while juniors Alyssa Oliver and Maddie Columbus were tabbed as Honorable Mention.
