The Broken Bow volleyball team will be making its first appearance at the NSAA state volleyball tournament since 2000 and just its fifth appearance in school history according to the NSAA archives. The Lady Indians are the #5 seed in the tournament and will face #4 Wayne (29-5) in the opening round on Thursday at Lincoln North Star High School. The match is scheduled for 3:30 and will follow the St. Paul (#1) / Battle Creek (#8) match. The winners will advance to play one another in the semifinals at 1pm on Friday.
It has been a history making season for the Lady Indians who are 32-2. Bow is on a 22 match winning streak and have not lost since September 21st when they fell to top five ranked Lincoln Lutheran at the Seward Tournament. During the stretch, Broken Bow claimed its first Southwest Conference Tournament title since 1988. Central Nebraska’s Sports Source asked head coach Skylar Morris if she has had time to process and appreciate the accomplishments that have been achieved so far.
Now the focus is on the tournament. When we visited with coach Morris on Tuesday, we asked her what the focus has been this week in practice.
