Their current record is 30-1; The tough tournament season is over for the Sandies and that's a good thing, because they are struggling with injuries right now. The most serious occurred in Tuesday's win over Canyon, where star hitter Kelsey Black suffered a high ankle sprain that will keep her out for several weeks. Amarillo has already lost DS Breanne Owens to season-ending knee surgery, has setter Brianne Barker hobbling with an ankle injury of her own, and RS Joni Unruh battling what may be back trouble. Amarillo may yet have enough to survive District play, but the first test comes Saturday versus an always dangerous Lubbock Coronado team.
