The Lady Cats had no trouble with Butler County last night in the first round of the District 12 Tournament, hosted by Butler County as they won and advanced to the district final game.

Edmonson County stayed in control from the first set all the way to the end, sweeping the Lady Bears in three sets, ending their season. 

The Lady Cats took set one with a score of 25-7, set two 25-13, and the final set, 25-9.

They will face Whitesville-Trinity in the finals for the third straight year as the Lady Raiders swept Grayson County in three sets last night.
