Lady Pirates Launch Their District Volleyball Run Tonight
Ferdinand, ID · October 14, 2026
Watching the morning chill give way across the grain bins is about as quiet as it gets today before postseason volleyball gets rolling down the grade. It is time to bundle up and head out.
The Lead
The road to the state volleyball tournament opens today at the Lewis-Clark State College Activity Center in Lewiston, where Prairie High School and St. John Bosco Academy kick off double-elimination District 2 play. Prairie steps onto the court as the fifth seed, squaring off against Logos at 5:00 PM after splitting two tightly contested regular-season matches. Meanwhile, the Lady Patriots must navigate a demanding schedule through the lower half of the bracket to stay alive. The stakes could hardly be higher across north central Idaho: this year’s tournament format awards only a single automatic bid to state, meaning any team that stumbles early must rely on statewide MaxPreps rankings to earn an at-large play-in berth. For local fans making the forty-minute trek down the grade, the action continues through the weekend until the district champion hoists the trophy on Saturday.
