The Bluebirds lost no matches or games in their run for the first place trophy.
The Bluebirds defeated Lucas-Luray 25-6, 25-12. Ell-Saline, the only league school the Bluebirds faced in the tournament, put up a fight, but the Bluebirds prevailed with scores of 25-15 and 25-20.
Goessel defeated Tescott 25-14, 25-8, and Wilson 25-20, 25-16.
In the championship match, Goessel defeated Osborne 25-12, 25-13.
“Today was about staying consistent,” GHS head coach Crysta Guhr said.
The Bluebirds picked up their fourth league victory of this young season Sept. 16, tying their total of four league wins all of last year.

The Broncos had defeated the Bluebirds in the invitational tournament at Goessel the week before.
Goessel came out ahead 25-19, 25-22.
Against Inman, the Bluebirds were sharp.
“The match with Inman was the best volleyball match I have ever been a part of as a coach,” Guhr said.
