Chinook volleyball takes fourth at state tournament

It was an impressive showing for the Chinook Sugarbeeters' first trip to the Class C state volleyball tournament in seven years.

The Beeters marched all the way to a fourth-place finish at the state tournament Friday night in Bozeman.

After a split on the opening day of the state tourney, Chinook upstaged Northern C champion Belt in a Friday-afternoon loser-out match. Chinook lost twice to Belt at last week's Northern C, but in Bozeman, the Beeters knocked the Huskies out of the tournament, by scores of 24-26, 25-22, 25-16, 16-25 and 15-4, in a wild match. Hailie Neibauer and Rilee Molyneaux combined for 31 kills, while Mya Berreth had 30 assists and three aces.

The win over the Huskies pushed Chinook into the fourth-place match where the Beeters fell to a tough North Country squad. Chinook lost by scores of 25-19, 21-25, 31-29 and 25-22 in a tough match that ended an incredible season for the Beeters.

Chinook finished second in the District 7C regular season, then won the District 7C championship, before placing second at the Northern C and fourth at the state tourney. Manhattan Christian captured the Class C state championship Saturday, beating Bridger in two title matches.
