REHOBOTH, N.M.
To’hajiilee was put through a stress test during its championship run at the Alexandra DeArmond Memorial Volleyball Tournament.
The Lady Warriors (9-2) captured the maroon bracket at the Rehoboth Christian School tournament as they went the distance with a pair of Arizona 1A teams in St. Michael (5-7) and Red Mesa (9-1) on Saturday.
In the semis, To’hajiilee outlasted St. Michael in a 26-24, 16-25, 27-25, 19-25, 15-9 thriller.
In the finals, the Warriors beat Red Mesa, winning 18-25, 25-16, 26-24, 21-25, 15-8.
“The girls had to work hard for this,” To’hajiilee coach Rethania Jake said. “They were pushing and fighting and that’s all I can ask of them. They had to dig deep inside, so I’m very proud of them.”
