HELENA, Mont. — The Helena High volleyball team is pushing hard to secure a spot in this year's Class AA state tournament after doing so in 2023.

The team started the season with a 4-6 record but improved by winning two of its last three games. The Bengals are currently in a three-way tie for third place in the Western AA conference.

This year, the Class AA state volleyball season will not have divisionals, making every conference matchup crucial for state qualification.
