The Conway Lady Cats clinched the 7A-Central conference championship with a win over the Little Rock Central Lady Tigers Tuesday night in Little Rock.

The Lady Cats swept the match, 25-18, 25-12, 25-20, as they completed a perfect conference record of 14-0 and improved to 23-4 overall.

Seniors led the team in all major categories. Jasmyn Wilkins led in kills and assists with 12 and five, respectively. Alexis Robertson recorded an impressive 25 digs while Payton Hart handed out 25 assists. Mary Dunlap contributed seven blocks for the Lady Cats.

This win gave the Lady Cats the No. 1 seed from the conference in the Class 7A State Tournament next week. They seem confident and focused heading into the tournament.

“We're optimistic about going in, especially since we got the first overall seed with a bye.” Conway assistant coach Andrea Fournier said.

The Lady Cats will look to close out the regular season strongly against Little Rock Christian Thursday in a non-conference match at Wampus Cat Arena. They will promote Breast Cancer Awareness. Everyone who wears pink will get in for $1. The junior varsity match is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. with the varsity match to follow.
