A final regular-season home match for Mid-Prairie’s ranked volleyball team October 3 was all about the numbers.
The Golden Hawks, who swept Tipton in three sets, celebrated 2,000 career digs by senior Dakota Mitchell.
And they celebrated 1,000 digs by junior Jovi Evans.

Mid-Prairie’s ninth consecutive sweep launched the eighth-ranked Golden Hawks into a late-season run toward the Class 3A regionals and a shot at the state tournament.
The Golden Hawks (23-5) began this week with a Tuesday night battle against Iowa City Regina, which is ranked No. 8 in 2A. They swept the Regals.
Monday, the Golden Hawks head to Tipton for the start of the River Valley Conference Tournament.
Mid-Prairie topped Tipton, 25-15, 25-18, 25-9, defeating the Tigers for the eighth straight time.
