It was a split Friday on the road for Helena's two Class AA volleyball programs. The Helena High Bengals picked up a clean 3-0 win over the Flathead Braves in Kalispell on September 19, while across town — figuratively speaking — Capital High dropped a 0-3 decision to the Glacier Wolfpack in the same evening's conference play.
Helena High's sweep of Flathead was a road win against a program that plays in the same conference and carries weight in the standings. The Bengals took all three sets to keep their momentum going into the back half of the regular season.
Capital's loss to Glacier was a reversal of the same scoreline — the Wolfpack won all three sets against the Bruins, a result that will sting for a team that has been working to find consistency this season. Both Helena programs will return to action in the coming weeks as conference play continues.
