A Big Week In Volleyball

On Thursday we played Bloomer at home for our PINK Night and Senior night. It was a tough loss for our varsity team as we made some critical decisions that lost us the match. We are working out things mentally, emotionally, and physically to take our game to the next level. It is great to see that we can play right along with Bloomer though and I am very proud of all the work the girls have put in so far. We ended up losing these games 14-25, 19-25, and in a really hard fought 26-28. I'd like to thank everyone who came out for our pink nights during MS volleyball, soccer, football, and HS volleyball. The totals aren't in yet, but at least $300 was raised. This money will be donated to the Mayo Cancer Research Program this year. We'd also like to honor our seniors who have put in countless hours playing and learning volleyball. Katie Gobel, Megan Meisberger, Dana Danger, Kenzie Hanson, and Sammy Osborn have been important players on our teams throughout the years. They are wonderful ladies on and off the court. Our JV team and Cteam continue to see great improvements!

On Friday we held our Football Tailgate Dinner. 80 volleyball players, parents, and coaches served more than 300 meals. We thank all for coming out to this great event. A HUGE thank you goes to River Street Family Restaurant for preparing all the food and for donating the chicken and rolls. We are grateful for the support from all!

Next week we play at Hayward on Tuesday. JV and Cteam at 5:45 and Varsity at 7. Varsity will then travel to Hayward on Saturday, October 11th, for the conference tournament. This was originally to be held at Spooner but was moved due to MS bleachers. Play begins at 9:00 am. We will play Bloomer, Barron, Ladysmith, and Chetek. Come on out and cheer on your Spooner Rails.

On Saturday our 7th grade played in a tournament at St. joesph's in RiceLake against Cumberland, Chetek-Weyerhauser, RLMS, St. Joe's, and St. Anthony. Our 7th grade team took 1st place! We're so proud of how hard they've been working this year! 7th grade is coached by Marley Hanson.
