💚🏐💛 THE HAWKS ARE HEADED TO STATE! 💛🏐💚
HISTORY IN THE MAKING. HAWK PRIDE IN FULL FORCE!
For the first time since 2010, the Hay Springs Lady Hawks are headed to the NSAA State Volleyball Tournament! 🎉
And this trip to State comes with a pretty special full-circle moment!
In 2010, our current assistant coach was on the court as a Lady Hawk competing at State. Now, 16 years later, she’s headed back to the State Tournament, this time coaching alongside her mom, Lisa Merritt, who also coached that 2010 State Tournament team!
From player to coach, from mother and daughter to coaching side by side, some Hawk traditions are simply too special not to celebrate!
And make no mistake… these girls aren’t traveling all the way from Western Nebraska just to say they made it to State! 🤠🏐
They’re headed east to MAKE SOME NOISE IN LINCOLN, turn some heads, and set the record straight on just who those HAY SPRINGS HAWKS are! 💚💛
We may come from a small town out west, but these girls are bringing BIG dreams, BIG determination, and a whole lot of HAWK PRIDE!
