Area places four on North Dakota Class B all

GRAND FORKS — Langdon Area-Munich's Hilary Haaven helped power the Cardinals to a North Dakota Class B state championship last weekend in Bismarck.

On Monday, she was one of four area players recognized with North Dakota Class B all-state honors.

Haaven and Park River-Fordville-Lankin's Lauren Bell were all-state first team choices, while Drayton-Valley-Edinburg's Elizabeth Fedje and Griggs-Midkota's Kelsey Johnson received second team honors.

Haaven, just a freshman, recorded 23 kills and 39 digs in the state title match as Langdon Area-Munich repeated as state champions by pulling off a reverse sweep of Medina-Pingree-Buchanan. Haaven already surpassed 1,000 career kills in October.

Haaven was the only member of the 24-member all-state team who is younger than a junior in high school
