The two Durango High School seniors earned selections to the Colorado High School Coaches Association All-State team and will compete this summer in a seniors-only all-state game.
“Really proud of these young women, and it is a reflection of their commitment to Durango volleyball and our program,” DHS head coach Colleen Keresey said in an email to The Durango Herald.
Along with their all-state selections, Clark and Lawton also were named to the All-Southwestern League’s first team. Clark was the top setter in the league, and Lawton was a leading libero.
Recognized on the All-SWL second team was senior middle hitter Laura Lieb and junior outside hitter Maddie Robertson.
“Not often do we get four players on the all-conference team, so it is exciting that the other league coaches recognize the accomplishments of our team as a whole and these girls as individual players,” Keresey said.
DHS finished the 2014 season 14-10 and 6-4 in the SWL, good for a second-place finish in the league behind Montrose (22-6, 10-0 SWL). The Demons did not advance past the regional round of the state playoffs, losing their final game of the season 3-1 to Berthoud, the Class 4A Region 8 host.
“Sad to see our four seniors go but also very excited for the upcoming volleyball season,” Keresey said.
