The Mustang High volleyball team continued its late season improvement the past two weeks in preparation for this week’s regional tournament.

In a triangular at Westmoore on Sept. 21, MHS lost to Bishop McGuiness and defeated Westmoore.

The Broncos then split four matches at the Norman Invitational on Sept. 22 and 23, defeating Lawton Eisenhower and Westmoore and losing to Norman and Carl Albert.

On Thursday, Sept. 28, Mustang hosted Moore for “Senior Night” and came away with a win in five games.

Saturday at home in their own tournament, MHS defeated Del City and Putnam City West and lost to Putnam City Original and Putnam City North.

The Broncos placed third in the eight-team tournament, which was won by PC North. PCO was second.

“I’m real happy with how we’re playing,” said Coach Ivy Riggs. “We’re playing much tougher than we were at the beginning of the season.”

Mustang heads into regional play Thursday at Edmond Memorial as the No. 3 seed.

The Broncos will play second-seeded Norman North at 6 p.m. Should they win, MHS will play the winner of the Edmond Memorial/U.S. Grant matchup.

The regional winner will advance to the state tournament the following week at Carl Albert High School in Midwest City.
