Below you will find our results from our JH League Tournament and the last regular season game that the MS Huskies had Against Western Plains Healy. Huskies vs. WPH 10/12/23 The Huskies traveled to Ransom and even though the score doesn't show it we really did play well. The Huskies went against a very good passing team from Western Plains Healy who had a great setter and moved the ball well. The Huskies found a little hardship in their serves tonight and will look to better our movement and passing before the League Tournament. Huskies A team and B team both walked away with losses but played hard. There were multiple volleys that just didn't go our way. A Team Scores - Lost 9-25, 12-25 No scores for B Team or C team - wasn't able to get an answer from the other team for a picture of the book. Stats: Ace- Rene Horacek 1 Kill-Haedyn Cox 3, Josie Nech 3, Rene Horacek 1, Annika McKinney 1 Assist- Haedyn Cox 4, Rene Horacek 1 Dig- Andrea Meraz Parra 3, Josie Nech 3, Haedyn Cox 2, Rene Horacek 2, Annika McKinney 1, Cambrie Sproul 1 Serve Receive- Andrea Meraz Parra 1.5, Kaylee Miller 1.5, Josie Nech 1.4 10/19/23 WKLL Junior High League Volleyball Tournament The day was very competitive and the Huskies showed great fight ... it is a long day with the girls having to tough out 4 games. We are excited to report that we did beat Logan/Palco but came up short in the other 3 games. We were able to see teams that we saw at the beginning of the season and do much better than before. The growth that was on display trumped the losses. The girls truly played together and did a great job managing the large atmosphere of the games. The Junior High Huskies were able to take a few sets on the day and had to fight back multiple times. They had way less missed serves and played multiple volleys with great success. The 2023 season may not have gone on the record as one of our best years, but the MS Huskies never gave up and chose to focus on the little things that will make them much more competitive in the future. Coach McKinney and Coach Thalheim want to wish the 8th graders the best of luck and thank them for their leadership this year. They were great teachers and lead by example. Their hustle, compassion for their teammates, and hard work will be greatly missed next year! This is only an A team day and scores and stats are below. NV vs. Western Plains Healy - Lost 11-25, 25-21, 16-25 - The huskies set up the ball an amazing amount of times WPH just had a great game of movement.
