The girls were going to State for the first time. In Kearney, the Lady 'Horns made themselves known after victories over Omaha Paul VI and Waverly. In the final stretch, they battled with the Minden Whippets, conquering them in two games. The ritual of throwing the coaches in the pool was tackled by the players later in the evening.
