BOZEMAN - Billings Senior and Gardiner won early. Laurel and Huntley Project won late.

All four captured State Volleyball titles Saturday in Bozeman with convincing championship match sweeps. Senior beat Flathead, Laurel beat Frenchtown, Huntley Project beat Red Lodge and Gardiner beat Roy-Winifred.

Laurel and Huntley Project each needed to win twice in their respective title matches after battling back through loser-out play.

Huntley Project's win makes it four straight State B titles for the Red Devils. Laurel's win marks the school's first-ever volleyball championship. Senior and Gardiner each finish undefeated.
