            The battle for supremacy continued Saturday night in District 1A volleyball as the Des Moines Lady Demons hosted the Springer Lady Red Devils yet it took the Lady Demons four games to stay off the Lady Red Devils.
            A walk in the park it wasn’t either as the lead changed several times in game one and was even tied going into the final points of the game at 24. The battle at the net was between Lady Demon Shelby Walker and Alisha Frye.
            As game two continued other net battles started such as the one with Samantha Bostillo and Brandy Burton. It was blocks and spikes back and forth again keeping the score close until Springer took the lead and went on to win it by two after a tie at 23.
            The match continued and was destined for four or five games by this time. The Lady Demons currently are in first place in the district and in game three continued to show why as they created a small lead and hung on to pulling out the game by eight.
            Game four was a bit closer yet strong play with good spikes from Shelby Walker and Samantha Bostillo lead the Lady Demons to a lead. But the Lady Red Devils wouldn’t give up that easily and created some long lasting vollies that kept up the excitement.
            By the end of game four it was a Des Moines match and a firm grasp on the lead in the district. District 1A will start tourney play this week as well with Cimarron traveling to Questa for match one on Tuesday and the winner will travel to Springer on Thursday. Des Moines will host the district championship on Saturday.
