The Warner Monarchs are heading back to the Class B State tournament after a Tuesday evening win over the Lyman Raiders in three sets as the Raiders battled in set one, but couldn’t keep up with the Monarchs.
Scores in the contest were 29-27, 25-9 and 25-9 as the Raiders battled hard in the first set and the 15 seed in Class B put the pressure on the two seed taking the first set to extra points and the Monarchs were able to take away the win. The win in the set built the momentum and powered the Monarchs in sets two and three to run past the Raiders advancing to the Class B state tournament as the two seed. Four seniors for the Raiders finish their careers with Kenzie Wagner, Brooke Montgomery, Briley Oldenkamp and Ella Ehlers. Lyman finishes at 18-13 on the year making the SoDak 16 as the three seed in Region 5B and going toe-to-toe with a Class B powerhouse.
Warner goes to 30 games over .500 at 33-3 and will be the two seed in the Class B State Tournament starting next week Thursday in Sioux Falls. The Monarchs will face the Deubrook Area Dolphins in the third game of the day and the first game of session two.
