HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High’s Volleyball team treated its home fans to a pair of wins Tuesday.

The Lady Cubs, playing in the Humboldt Community Fieldhouse for the first time in 2021, swept past visiting Jayhawk-Linn in straight sets, before rebounding from a first-set loss to roll past St. Mary’ s Colgan of Pittsburg.

The victories lift Humboldt to 4-3 on the season.

“I thought the girls played great tonight,” Humboldt head coach Terry Meadows said. “Our defense stepped up and kept the ball off of the ground. We played really well as a team. I’m so proud of the girls.”
