“Individually, we have some incredible talent with some kids who love to work hard,” Boehmer said. “But now our focus will shift to trying to win the Top of Iowa Conference. We have two tough matches left — North Iowa and Forest City — so we need to have a good week of practice.”
The Bulldogs are still perfect on the year — 62-0 in sets and 28-0 overall.
