The #11 in class 4A Indianola volleyball team took down Dallas Center-Grimes in conference play on the road Tuesday evening, 3-2.

The Indians dropped set one 20-25, but came back to even the contest with a 25-15 scoreline in set two. The two teams continued to battle back and forth, with the Mustangs picking up the third set in a marathon 27-29 win, but Indianola came roaring back with a 25-19 win in set four to set up the penultimate fifth set. With neither team giving up much ground, the Indians came through with a big Little Hawkeye Conference win 15-8.

Head coach Kent Halstead tells KNIA Sports the team is using their depth to help build a winning climate.

“We’re just hanging our hat this year, we just have great culture in the gym. We have a strong 9th grade class, a strong 10th grade class, and it just makes competition. Like if you only have one bank in Indianola, that bank isn’t going to be that good. Competition helps.”

The Indians improve to 10-7 on the season, and next travel to the Waukee tournament on Saturday.
