It was Senior Night, Tuesday, as the Whitefish High School Volleyball team played host to their rivals, Columbia Falls, to close out the regular season.
The Whitefish Volleyball team staged a comeback for the ages as they rallied to defeat the Columbia Falls Wildcats, in 5 sets, sending off the seniors the right way.
Whitefish trailed 2 games to 0, as C-Falls looked to be in full control.
The Dawgs huddled up prior to the start of the third set and just kept pushing.
Whitefish won Set 3, 25-19 and took set 4, 25-21.
Set 5 was all Whitefish. The Dawgs took control late in the set and gutted their way to a 15-10 victory in the final set.
All 5 Seniors: Camry Kelch, Eleanor Archie, Sol Holmquist, Aubrey Talbot and Anna Shestak, got the start in the contest. And all five played huge roles.
