Coach Lowry’s Comments –
The Northern Valley Junior High opened their 2025/26 basketball season in Grinnell against the Thunderhawks on November 20. The A-team girls started the game a little nervous and out of sync with each other. With every quarter, the girls worked to play as a team and controlled the pace while finding multiple opportunities to drive to the basket. Our free throw percentage was low, however the girls worked hard to get rebounds and steals ending the game 24-18. Annika McKinney led the team with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 steals followed by Inez Schemper and Ryelyn Cox with 6 points each.
The B-team girls played two quarters, starting off the game timid and struggled to find rhythm. However, the effort they put in shows great promise for future games. Tayah Seeders led the team with three points.

Hey guys!! I am so sorry this is so late!!! Here are the summaries for our last 5 games in the JH VB Season.
10.16.25 JH VB @ Western Plains
The Lady Huskies traveled to Ransom to take on the Bobcats and for the second long road trip of the year to not break down in the bus was a blessing!! The girls fought hard they just got a little held up by mistakes that then caused more mistakes. We got a little too much in our heads and bouncing back will have to be a goal going into the league tournament next week. The Western Plains Bobcats did a great job hitting at the Huskies and the girls got so many digs and touches on some fast paced balls it was exciting to see this defensive effort!

10.23.25 JH WKLL VB Tourney - A team Only
Game 1 vs. Logan/Palco
The Lady Huskies came out swinging at the WKLL tournament! They fought hard to defeat Logan/Palco in the first 2 sets of the day. They did a great job passing and we had several girls reach their highest passing percentages. They Lady Huskies ran their 6-2 with Grace and did a great job recovering from mistakes. They even held off the Logan/Palco Trojans in their last set of the game to win it 30-28. They never once gave up!! They never let a set back hold them back and they fought for every point! With their control on serving, setting up the ball and execution in the 6-2 was some of the best volleyball we have played the entire year. It was so good to see the girls play their best volleyball on the last day we could! It was a great start to the day!

Weskan had quite the volleyball team! Their efforts were just a little too much for the NV Huskies at the League Tournament but the Huskies did a great job going for every ball and fighting for every single point. We weren't able to pass as well as the first game of the day but did a great job attacking at the net.

Game 3 vs. Heartland Christian
The Huskies came back after lunch and fought hard to beat Heartland Christian in 3 sets. The girls did a great job serving in the new Gym in Logan and did a much better job passing!!! It was fun to watch them set up the ball as much as they did and have success. This was some amazing volleyball to watch. They had a groove and were able to create some flow on offense. Inez Schemper served the ball 21 times in a row in the last set and didn't miss a single one it was amazing to watch!

Game 4 vs. Grinnell/Wheatland
The last game didn't go how the Huskies would have liked but the girls did a great job again in their 6-2 the day just proved t0 be a little too long. The lady Huskies had too many service errors and a little less accuracy on passing so out scoring the Thunderhawks was just a little out of reach.

The A Team ladies finished the year 6-6 the B team Ladies finished 3-5.
As a Coaching Staff we were extremely proud of this small group of girls!! The A team was able to successfully run a 6-2 and we haven't done that in 4 years. They developed a great understanding for the game and were some extremely brave young women. Their belief and work ethic will carry them straight into competing at the high school level!!
