10/1/26 Volleyball at Home Against Heartland Christian and Western Plains!
What a beautiful day for Middle School Volleyball and Football. The chill in the air was refreshing and getting to play at home is always amazing with so many supporters that fill our stands! The middle school A team Volleyball girls had a little bit of a tougher night, but the B team Got 2 WINS!!! Heartland Christian brought a solid team, the Lady Huskies just took too long to get started playing volleyball and couldn't find that same flow from the week before. Serve receive was our biggest struggle and we couldn't get any offense started without that first pass. The B team was able to turn a corner and had an incredible night serving and setting up their offense!! The serving from B team proved to be too much for Heartland Christian and the girls finished strong winning the last 2 sets!

Western Plains brought a small group of solid girls who out served the Huskies and were able to hit a little more than our Northern Valley girls so A team had another loss. The B team WON their set and did a great job taking care of business. They served and passed well and were able to get 10 aces to beat Western Plains. The Northern Valley Huskies will need to focus on serve receive, serving and bouncing back after making a mistake in hopes of getting back to the way we played against Grinnell. The girls want to do so well and are just a little tough on themselves when they make mistakes so we will work on finding a way to reset, and focus on next point! Their effort and focus in Practice is a strength so there is no doubt they will get to work to try to turn things around for the next chance to play great volleyball!

9/24 The Huskies Take on Grinnell!!
The Lady Huskies traveled down to Grainfield to take on the Thunderhawks and it was the best Volleyball we have played yet! The A team and the B team both had team-bests in passing, serving and setting the ball up. The A team was able to play top level volleyball recording 17 pass-set-hit series in the first set! It wasn't quite enough to surpass the depth of the Thunderhawks but it was one heck of a ball game! The lady Huskies showed true court awareness, grit fighting for every last point and serious team support!

Hey Huskies!! Here is the order of play for the High School WKLL Volleyball tournament this Saturday in Goodland GO BIG GREEN!!!
The Northern Valley Huskies Junior High Football team took on the Western Plains Bobcats on October 1st. The Huskies were able to play decently on defense other than a few breakdowns early on, but the Bobcats were too much for the Huskies. Offensively, the Huskies couldn’t get the blocking and offensive execution they needed to make yards against a very stout Bobcat defense. The Huskies held on despite not scoring until the fourth quarter when the Bobcats completed a PAT to finish off the Huskies. The final score was 0-45.
The flag game featured the 6th graders going up against mostly the same Bobcat team. The Huskies and Bobcats played a 15-minute running clock period. The Huskies and Bobcats were both scoreless until the last minute of game time. The Bobcats struck with a big 25-yard run and a touchdown with 30 seconds remaining on a pass play. The Bobcats also fit their PAT in as well, marking a 0-7 defeat for the Huskies.
The Huskies' next game will be a flag only game in Palco on October 8th.

With the cancelation of the Norton XC Meet today due to heavy rainfall, the runners used this great weather to run the Almena Cemetery Practice Race at 4:15. Here were the results from their 5000m run.
Bryson Wilder - 24:48.77
Levi Black - 25:01.30
Jeremiah Kirkland - 32:26.86
Shelby Lentz - 32:30.08
Bryson was a surprise guest today that had some interest in XC before the season started. Levi improved his last week time by 6 minutes! Shelby improved her time by 5 minutes, and Jeremiah improved his time by 2 minutes. Tayah went to Volleyball practice this time, and Zane is out the next two weeks with a bone bruise. The XC runners had great practices this week, working on their pacing, in prep for the Norton Meet. We will build upon this for the next meet at Ness City. On October 1, girls run at 5:00 and boys at 5:45.
Thanks,
Ross Cole
