GRAVETTE -- The Lady Lions traveled to Berryville and hosted Huntsville last week but lost to both opponents, 3-0 and 3-1.

Against Berryville, the Lady Lions stalled out in all three sets with 18 points on the board, as the hosting Lady Bobcats pounded their way to a sweeping victory.

At home on Thursday, the Lady Lions showed a glimmer of hope when they came back after losing the first two sets, 25-16 and 25-12, to beat Huntsville in the third, 25-15. But the Lady Lions couldn't keep that momentum going in the fourth set. Huntsville held Gravette to 14 points to take the set and the game.

The Lady Lions were scheduled to take on the Lady Saints at Shiloh Christian on Tuesday, after press time, with their final regular season game against the Lady Pioneers in Gravette on Thursday.

Misa Satchel is leading the Lady Lions in kills for the season with 57. Shannon McKnight has 48 and Amanda Pinter, 47. Stephanie Pinter has 37.
