Chetek and Cumberland

Thursday at Cumberland

On Thursday Varsity experienced our first conference win. While we have won matches it was exciting to get a conference win under our belt. We took game one 25-21. Emily Beehler started us off with a couple of great hits. In game two we started behind, but came back to win 25-23. Ashtin Markgren was again a huge server for us. Game three threw us a curve ball and we lost 22-25. In game four it seemed like we could not make our perfect pass until late in the game and although we fought to stay in it we still lost 19-25. We came out strong in game five though and won 15-11. Alex Hotchkiss had a great night with many hits and kills. The girls excitement showed on the bus and we look forward to our next match. JV plays a Quad on Tuesday, October 1st at Cumberland. C-team has a home scrimmage against Shell Lake at 4:30 pm and a Quad on Tuesday, October 1st at Bloomer. Varsity, JV, and C-team will hold their PINK NIGHT Thursday, October 3rd at Hayward. Come out and see some great volleyball. Plus, we're feeling great in our new warm-ups!

This past Tuesday our high school squads hosted Chetek at home.

We had four exciting games of volleyball at the Varsity level against Chetek. In game one we were behind 8 to 16 and came back to lose 19-25. In game two we came out very fired up and won 25-17. Alex Hotchkiss had a huge hitting game and actually a great hitting and blocking night. Sara Taylor also served 5 points in a row. We came out strong in game three, but the game was kept very close with some really long rallies. We went on to lose 25-27. In game four we came out with fire, but stayed behind until both teams reached 9 points. We then took the lead.  Ashtin Markgren served well for us, putting 4 straight points on the board. We fought late into this game, but ended up losing 20-25. As a team we are still learning and many girls are becoming leaders. 

 Parents night – We’d also like to say a HUGE thank you to our parents for all their support this season. We could not do it without you.
 
Tail gate – Our tailgate was a big success. Thank you to all the staff, parents, and community members who came out and showed their support. We will be purchasing C-team through Varsity warm ups for the program.
