Kats advance to state semis

Columbia Falls is once again in the state A volleyball semifinals in Bozeman. The Wildkats downed Billings Central in the opener 26-24, 19-25, 28-26, 25-20 and then beat conference rival Corvallis 25-20, 19-25, 25-16, 25-23 in the quarterfinals Thursday to advance to semis.

The Kats team, which features all juniors but senior Samantha Collins, is stepping up when it matters the most.

They took third in the conference tourney, but were also suffering from the flu.

The girls now face conference foe Butte Central tonight at 6 p.m.
