Conference Tournament
Saturday was an intense day of
volleyball. We started off against Chetek and came out strong. We won the match
with game scores of: 23-25, 25-12, and 15-11. The
girls played very well together as a team and kept their fire the whole time.

Our pink nights with soccer and football raised over $500 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. It was a neat way to team up with fall sports to Keep Calm and Fight On.
Round two we played Barron. We competed
very well with Barron and played with a lot of hustle. We ended up losing, but
again we played with great intensity. Our game scores were: 17-25,
20-25.
After a mid-day break we played Bloomer. Our intensity had
slowed down a little bit and while we came out strong in game one, we ended up
losing 20-25 and 11-25.
We switched up some things in
our match against Ladysmith, but could not get our high intensity game back. We
ended up losing our games: 15-25, 18-25.

Senior Night, Junior Passer Night, and Northwestern
Tuesday night was filled with intensity. JV and C-team had some great games. Cteam’s scores were 20-25, 19-25 and 26-24. JV’s scores were 25-16, 27-25, and 25-14
We then had our Junior Passer run through a line of HS athletes. In our three Junior Passer Saturday clinics we had around 70, 3rd-8th grade girls attend. It was a great opportunity for the younger girls to get excited about volleyball and learn some volleyball skills. We are looking into more options for our younger volleyball players for the years to come. It is neat to have girls come up to me in school and say, “Hi Coach Smith.” The love of a team atmosphere is there and is growing.

We also had senior night. It has been a joy to get to know each of my seniors: Sara Taylor, Taylor Johnson, Brooke Schumacher, Michelle Richardson, Alex Hotchkiss, Alison Kosterman, and Ashtin Markgren. I could say a million things about these girls. I chose to make them plaques that had words that their teammates and coaches had said about them. They have each brought so much to the team and I am excited to see where the rest of the season brings us.
Varsity came out last night with so much intensity. We were pumped and ready to play our game. We battled to win the first two games 25-21 and 25-22. Northwestern also brought intensity. In game three, four, and five we fell behind early and tried to catch up, but simply could not close the gaps. We lost these 17-25, 17-25, and 4-15. We talked as a team after the game and know a few areas we’re going to improve to come out Saturday with a strong team. We have our conference tournament at Northwestern on Saturday and at Cumberland on Thursday the 17th. Our JV and C-team have one night of volleyball left with their home Quads on October 15th. Varsity will start regional contest on October 22nd.
Spooner Volleyball has been exciting to watch, coach, and play this year and it will continue to be for the rest of the season. We hope to see you at each of our next matches.
Middle School played at Chetek on Tuesday. 8th grade won 1 and lost three and 7th grade lost all four. On Monday C-team scrimmaged Shell Lake again. They played very well and were a lot of fun to watch. They won game one, 26-24 but lost game two and three: 23-25, 14-16

Lots of Excitement This Week
Last Friday Varsity and JV ran 7th and 8th grade practice. It was a great night of mentoring! If you'd like to see pictures from practice you can view them here: 7th and 8th Grade Practice Pictures
On Saturday we had our 2nd Jr. Passer Clinic. Just a reminder that Jr. Passer Night is Tuesday, October 8th. Jr. Passers should arrive at 6:15 pm and line up in the hallway by the locker rooms. If they let the ticket taker know and wear their new shirt, they will get in to the game free, along with a parent. You can view pictures from Jr. Passers at: Jr. Passer Pictures
On Monday our C-team scrimmaged at Shell Lake. Although we lost all 3 games, the middle game was very close at 25-27.
Our Middle School teams played versus St. Joes. Our 7th grade team won 1 and lost 3. Our 8th grade lost all four games.
On Tuesday our JV traveled to Cumberland for a Quad. We beat Chetek and Cumberland but lost in a close match to Bloomer.

Our C-team fought really hard, but lost game one 10-25 and game two 24-26. Our JV played extremely well. We lost game one 23-25, won game two 25-17, and won game three 25-18.
Varsity came off a week long break, which is always hard to do. We had momentum from our Cumberland match and while we fought through all three games we ended up dropping them to Hayward 20-25, 10-25, and 22-25. We have one more regular season match next Tuesday against Northwestern at home. This is our senior night and Jr. Passer night. After this match we travel to Northwestern on Saturday, October 12th for our conference tournament and on Thursday, October 17th we travel to Cumberland for our 2nd day of our conference tournament.
