High school volleyball roundup: BHS climbs to top of tourney
The Bloomington High School girls volleyball team, led by all-tournament honorees Lauren Seyller and Kasey Heckelman, won the gold division championship in the 16-team Mount Pulaski Festival Tournament Saturday. BHS (11-3) topped Edwardsville in the final, 18-25, 25-18, 25-22. Earlier, the Purple Raiders downed Mount Pulaski, 25-20, 21-25, 25-17, and A-C Central, 25-18, 25-14. Heckelman had 47 kills in the tourney while Seyller had 42 and Alli Kirk had 51 digs. “I thought we played well,” said BHS coach Joe Sanders. “Edwardsville has some big kids and tremendous hitters.
