HORSEPOWER!

When it came right down to it, the Plains Trotters had a little more horsepower.

Coach Jesse Butcher's Trotters enjoyed a fine week of play last week, defeating the Clark Fork Mountain Cats 25-21, 25-19, 18-25, 25-20 in Plains Thursday, and then spiking Philipsburg and Victor in Victor Saturday.

Scores from the match wins over P-Burg and Victor were not available.

The Trotters showed how good they can be in the win over Clark Fork, a co-op team comprised of players from Superior and Alberton.

Twin towers Kylee Altmiller, a 6-1 junior, and Rachel Huenink, a 6-2 senior, dominated the net in the win over the Mountain Cats, with Altmiller powering down 16 kills and Huenink blocking five shots.

Haley Josephson directed the Trotter net attack with 18 set assists, Audrey Brown and Dakota Butcher hit three service aces each and Miera Loberg bumped up a team-high 10 digs.

Emma Baughman and Margaret Parkin hit four kills each for Clark Fork and Madison Mask hit 11 assists and two service aces for Clark Fork.

The Trotters were to have hosted Thompson Falls Tuesday in a non-conference match (results were not available), will visit Troy Thursday and will play in the Mineral County Shootout in Superior and St. Regis Saturday.
