The Lancers hoist the District Championship trophy after their win against Eureka. The Battle of 109 resulted in a Lafayette win 3-1

A kill by senior outside hitter Maya Witherspoon during the first set helped the Lafayette girl’s volleyball team beat Eureka 3-1, at Lafayette High School, to win the district finals.

The Lancers started the game strong winning the first two sets, 25-12, and 25-7. The Wildcats would win a close third set, 28-26, but Lafayette went on to win the fourth set, 25-13, crowning them District Champions. This is their fourth District Title in a row.

Lafayette will play Jackson High School, Nov. 2, in the State Quarterfinals. The Lancers look to three-peat, after having won the last two State Championships.

I've always loved writing but it wasn't until I joined the newspaper staff that I developed a passion for journalistic newswriting. Sharing the stories of those too scared to share their own and breaking the news important to our community is an incredible feeling I am always pursuing. Grade: Senior Pronouns: She/Her Years on Staff: 3 Hobbies: Reading, writing, watching horror movies, playing with dogs and doom scrolling on any and all social media.
