Lady Longhorns stay alive in district race

Logan cruised to two district wins over Clovis Christian and San Jon last week and stayed alive in the race for a district title.

The Lady Longhorns blasted visiting Clovis Christian 25-9, 25-5, 25-9 on Thursday, then overwhelmed visiting San Jon 25-10, 25-11, 25-21 on Saturday.

Logan improved to 13-6 overall and 7-1 in district play.

The Lady Longhorns trail only No. 1-ranked Melrose (18-0) in the district, which they will face again on Nov. 5.

Melrose 3, San Jon 0

Like almost all of the Lady Buffaloes’ opponents this season, San Jon fell in three sets Thursday to top-ranked and undefeated Melrose.

The final score was 25-5, 25-16, 25-11 in Melrose’s favor.

The Lady Buffaloes have lost only one set all year — to Class 2A-ranked Santa Rosa.

The Lady Coyotes ended the week 3-16 overall, 1-7 in district.
