Drummond rallies to best Charlo on the road

CHARLO – The Lady Trojans traveled from Drummond to Charlo for a showdown with one of the top teams in the District 13C/14C standings. The two squads were tied in a single loss before the match, but Drummond came away with the win in four sets and climbed to second place.

The Lady Trojans lost the opening set 25-18 before turning things around and winning the last three 25-18, 25-20, and 25-21.

With Granite having beaten the Lady Vikings the night before, Drummond ascends to third with a record of 3-1, a game ahead of Charlo (3-2) and one behind Seeley Swan at 3-0. The Blackhawks have yet to play any of the top seeded teams in the district, including the Lady Vikings, Lady Trojans, Lincoln or Granite.
