The Lady Falcons quickly dispatched visiting Zeigler-Royalton by 25-9 and 25-7 scores, improving to 9-8 on the season.

In Black Diamond Conference play, Elverado is 4-5.

"Every night should be Senior Night," Lady Falcons coach Donette Wheatley said. "We couldn't have played any better than what I saw tonight. The girls did a great, great job."

EHS had double-figure point efforts from Julia Bost (14) and Hanna Scott (10) at the serving line. Bost led in assists with Mallory Winthrop notching nine kills.

Wednesday's match ended regular season play. EHS battles Z-R in the Steeleville Class A Regional tournament at 6 o'clock next Tuesday.

In the junior varsity match, Elverado (8-10, 3-6) defeated Z-R 25-20, 12-25, 15-7.

The Lady Tornadoes defeated EHS (1-7-1, 1-4-1). Scores were 17-25 and 18-25.

Wheatley also thanked Elverado's "Volleyball Moms" (Jill Winthrop, Lisa Cochran, Cheryl Bost, Dena Teague and Jane Tuthill) for their help during 2008.
