The volleyball season is two weeks out from tournaments and two valley teams are getting stronger with each match. The Lady Falcons of Florence are undefeated and have hardly been challenged by the Western B teams. The experienced team made short work of Anaconda last weekend. Florence had 30 kills alone with Shannon Byrne slapping down 11 alone. The front line of Byrne, Emma Stensrud, Rilee Mangun and Jacklyn Balfourd made it tough for the Copperheads to get a ball into play. Florence had five blocks with Mangun and Balfourd recording two each.
