BROOKLYN HYATT – BIG SPRING LADY STEERS VOLLEYBALL
The Lady Steers volleyball team is still proving to be the team to beat in District 5-4A. While the Lady Steers suffered their first loss this past Tuesday to Levelland they still sit at the top of the district standings sporting a 3-1 record. Senior Brooklyn Hyatt has been of many key pieces to the Lady Steers success during district play. Hyatt had a killer game last Saturday as her contributions aided in the Lady Steers win over Sweetwater. Hyatt's numbers in that game were staggering against the Lady Mustangs. Hyatt recorded 9 aces, a whopping 43 kills, 5 blocks, 20 assists, and 24 digs. Her impressive game against Sweetwater has now earned the Big Spring Herald Female Athlete of the Week.
