Here is the Louisburg Sports Zone Athlete of the Week for week eight of the fall sports season, sponsored by IronHorse Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.

HAILEY SWORD, SENIOR, VOLLEYBALL

Louisburg senior Hailey Sword helped the Wildcat volleyball team earn their second straight bid to the Class 4A state tournament last week. On Saturday at the Class 4A sub-state tournament in Independence, Louisburg downed Paola and Independence in two sets to win the title and Sword was a big reason why.

Sword led the Wildcat attack at the net with a team-high 20 kills in the two matches and was second on the team with two aces. She has been big for Louisburg all season from her all-around position. Sword leads the team with 276 kills on the year and is second on the Wildcats with 262 digs.
