The Northwestern State University Volleyball team held its annual Spring DigFest fundraiser Saturday February 17 at NSU’s Prather Colisseum. The Spring DigFest, along with GrassFest held later in the year, are fundraisers for the NSU Volleyball team and a fun annual tradition for our community since 2010.
The day long tournament featured 12 teams from around the area competing for bragging rights. The superb NCHS volleyball team, a perennial contender in the LHSAA playoffs, had several young ladies come out for some post season fun. The DigFest is held to finance projects and items for the team not covered by their budget, such as new equipment for practicing and a few nice extras while on the road. This year’s Spring DigFest is expected to raise $2,000.00 to assist Demon Volleyball.
The Northwestern State University Volleyball team is a high achieving group of athletes coming to NSU from Louisiana and surrounding states. The team boasts a phenomenal 100% graduation rate and has earned a team average 3.4 gpa this year. These young women are a success on, and off, the court!
Best wishes to this group of superb scholar-athletes every success in their upcoming season. Fork ’em Demons!
