It was a rough start to the season with a 0-36 loss but the junior Lady Huskies showed a lot of potential. They are a young, inexperienced team that showed they are willing to put forth the effort and never give up, working hard until the end of the game. Our defense improved and the girls found more shot opportunities in the second half but nothing fell. We will continue to work on ball movement, attacking the basket and defense before our next game at Logan. Assistant Coach McKinney’s Comments – The B-team girls were diligent in their first game and worked out some kinks. Their willingness to try new things and adjust as the game progressed was great.

A Game Northern Valley JH Huskies A couldn't keep up with Wheatland/Grinnell, losing 42-8. Aaron Horacek led Northern Valley JH Huskies A in scoring with four points. Colt Rogers pounded the glass, collecting eight rebounds to lead Northern Valley. Additional scorers for Northern Valley included Bryson Wilder (2 points) and Colt Rogers (2 points).B Game The NVJH Boys lost to Grinnell/Wheatland 37-6. Grinnell/Wheatland went on a 14-point run to start the game and never looked back. The Huskies B team also struggled with taking care of the ball. Jaden Johns led Northern Valley in scoring with four points. Colton Ledbetter also contributed for Northern Valley JH Huskies scoring two points. Comments from coach Max Boehler I think for a lot of our B team players it was their first time playing organized basketball, so there were a lot of nerves. Hopefully now they have some butterflies out and the game can slow down a little bit for them and play more under control. As for the A team, they have to take care of the ball better. We made a lot of bad passes and had way too many turnovers for us to have any chance. We'll need to improve our decision making and our transition defense also needs a lot of improvement. Fortunately for us we have a handful of practices before our next game.

Elaina, Sofia, and Vanessa worked on a "favorite pets" election and Aria, Owen, and Shanna Lyn worked on the presidential election. We made voting boxes, held a mock election with the PreK 4y/o-4th grade students, counted ballots, recounted ballots and posted the results in the elementary! We have really enjoyed learning about the presidential election and we are anxiously awaiting the actual results!

They were successful winning 25-21, 25-14 The Huskies finished out their season with a record of 8-26. Coach Hansen’s final comments on the season, “I am so proud of the work these girls have put in this season. We knew coming in this year that we would face some challenges and that we would have to be adaptable. This group came to practice every day ready to put the work in. Of course, we would have loved to continue our season or see more success, but they left it all out there every time they stepped on the court. We wish our 5 seniors the best, they will be missed.” 2024 WKLL All League Honors: Delaney Side and Tatum Lentz – 2nd Team Stat Leaders for 2024 Season (per HUDL): Kills – Delaney Sides with 157 Digs – Haley Hansen with 242 Blocks – Tatum Lentz with 20 Assists – Haedyn Cox with 204 Ace Serves – Delaney Sides with 49 Serving – Landry Gebhard with 93.8% Thanks to all of the fans for your support this season!

Here is the information from the WKLL JH VB Tourney that was held in Logan on 10.24.24. This is an A-team only tournament and it is played with pool play both in the morning and afternoon. The JH Huskies started the morning so well and took the first Set from Triplains-Brewster. They were firing on all cylinders and after a hard-fought 2nd set loss of 28-26 the Huskies had a hard time bouncing back. They played a ton of Volleyball playing 3 games to 3 sets. It was a day full of great energy, increased control and confidence and a great team-centered effort. The Huskies came up short and walked away with 4 losses but I couldn't be prouder of their commitment and focus to get better each day. The Huskies were a much-improved team by the end of the season and played with poise, control and multiple 3-touch scenarios. What a great year of Growth! NV vs. TPB Lady Huskies came out fighting and took the first set from the Titans. Even with a battle in the second set the Huskies fell to the Titans. The girls served extremely well and passed better than ever the Titans just had a few less errors. Scores: 25-21, 26-28, 13-25 Stats: Aces-Annika McKinney 4, Inez Schemper 2, Cambrie Sproul 2, Rowan Bremer 1 Perfect Passes- Annika McKinney 10, Kaylee Miller 4, Inez Schemper 3, Avreigh McCue 1, Tayah Seeders 1 Kills- Kaylee Miller 1, Cambrie Sproul 1 Assists- NV vs. Weskan Our second game did not go the way we wanted and the Weskan squad was pretty solid. The Huskies couldn't escape their missed passes or miscommunications. We were able to play better against them this time than our first match up. Huskies Lost 5-25, 11-25 Stats: Aces-Inez Schemper 1 Perfect Passes- Ryelyn Cox 4, Annika McKinney 4, Inez Schemper 3, Cambrie Sproul 2, Avreigh McCue 1 Kills- Assists- NV vs. Heartland Christian The afternoon is when the Huskies found a little footing and did a great job winning a set from both Heartland Christian and Logan. We just had a few more errors compared to Heartland Christian. The Huskies did an amazing job serving multiple times in a row and keeping our servers at the service line by playing the ball back up. Multiple long rallies ended with the Huskies just a little less successful than Heartland Christian. This was also our best game of setting and hitting. Stats: Aces-Kaylee Miller 4, Cambrie Sproul 3, Avreigh McCue 3, Inez Schemper 2, Annika McKinney 1 Perfect Passes-Annika McKinney 12, Ryelyn Cox 9, Inez Schemper 8, Kaylee Miller 8, Cambrie Sproul 4, Avreigh McCue 3 Kills-Annika McKinney 4, Cambrie Sproul 1 Assists- Cambrie Sproul 3 NV vs. Logan/Palco The Huskies love playing the Trojans and we were blessed with one last opportunity to play their sea of Red. The Huskies took the second set and just lost a little bit of momentum in the middle of the 3rd so the Trojans walked away victorious. Overall we still had a great game setting up the ball more than ever and keeping control of the ball way more than we were able to at the beginning of the year. It was clear the Huskies put in a ton of time, focus and hard work to end the year at a much better place than where they started. Stats: Aces-Ryelyn Cox 2, Cambrie Sproul 2, Annika McKinney 2, Inez Schemper 1, Avreigh McCue 1 Perfect Passes- Annika McKinney 11, Inez Schemper 6, Kaylee Miller 4, Ryelyn Cox 3, Cambrie Sproul 2 Kills-Annika McKinney 4, Cambrie Sproul 1 Assists- Cambrie Sproul 2, Inez Schemper 2 Heartland Christian : NV lost 23-25, 25-14, 21-25 Logan/Palco: NV Lost 15-25, 25-17, 15-25
