The last time Keshia Havelka made it to the state volleyball tournament, she was a senior at Mead in 2006. It also was the last time the Raiders earned a district title.

But Havelka, a first-year head coach, is hoping to change that after her Class D-2 10th-ranked Raiders earned a 25-16, 19-25, 25-15, 25-22 win against No. 7 Sterling in the D2-1 subdistrict final Tuesday in Firth.

It’s conference tournament time across the state with quite a few already having been completed last week, many more this week and the final ones next week.
