Beatty had won its first four division matches, but Friday, coach Mike Duszynski's team fell twice to Round Mountain (25-23, 25-10 and 25-19, 25-20).

"We didn't have a good night, but we had so many distractions all week ...," said the veteran coach. "Our girls were involved in the Powder Puff football game, the marching band, cheerleading for the Powder Puff game, working on a float ... and volleyball practice," said Duszynski. "Those could have been contributing factors to us not playing well against Round Mountain, a team that makes very few mistakes."

The Beatty girls were coming off a 3-0 sweep of the Southern Division's Las Vegas Calvary Chapel (25-19, 28-26, 25-21).

"Those were great games ... really exciting," said Duszynski. "We were down 18-21 in that third game, but rallied to win."

Tonopah defeated Henderson International School 25-10, 25-14 and 25-15, 25-17 Friday, then traveled to Beaver Dam, Ariz., to triumph 25-7, 25-14, 25-7 in a non-division match Saturday.

In the first game Saturday, Brittany Vallarino served the first 17 points, including four aces. Against Henderson, Kristi Glover had 18 kills, with Liz Boni getting 27 assists.
