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!

Congratulations Tatum Lentz and Delaney Sides for making WKLL All League Volleyball 2nd Team! Great work ladies!!!

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

10/17/24- Northern Valley Junior Huskies vs Western Plains/Healy Bobcats The Northern Valley Junior Huskies played their final football game on October 17th in Long Island. The game was a flag football game due to the Bobcats having low numbers in the 7th and 8th grades, forcing the schools to play flag football and include the 6th graders. The Junior Huskies were able to have a great team win to cap off the season. The Huskies were able to score quickly on multiple occasions of long runs by Cash Compton as well as get Max Wilder a receiving touchdown and Colt Rogers a rushing touchdown. Coach Pugh’s Comments- “I think as much as the boys wanted to play contact football, the fact that we were able to have success and a lot of fun for the last game for these 8th graders and go out with a win, was a big positive. We were able to pick up a lead in the 2nd quarter where I felt like we could start putting in some of the younger kids and we cycled everybody in at one point or another. By the end of the game, we had all 5 of our 6th graders in at the same time to help get them some real game experience for next season. It was a great night to be a Husky.” Huskies (1-6 Final season record) Stats- Rushing- Cash Compton- 14 carries for 227 yards, 5 TD’s Colt Rogers- 10 carries for 60 yards and 1 TD, 4 PAT's Bryson Wilder- 2 carries for 24 yards Passing/Receiving- Bryson Wilder to Max Wilder 1/1 passing for 6 yards and 1 TD Tackles- Bryson Wilder- 9, Cash Compton- 8, Aaron Horacek- 4, Westyn Lowry- 4, Colt Rogers- 3, Max Wilder- 2, Levi Black- 1, Victor Alvarez-Santos- 1, Colton Ledbetter- 1 NV Defensive Stats- WP- 277 total yards for 3 TD’s, 0/7 Passing 1st 2nd 3rd Final NV 7 19 33 46 WP/H 7 7 7 25

10.17.24 NV Vs. Western Plains Healy The Huskies were excited to finish the regular season at home. We were missing a little bit of energy and weren't able to start their passing game against a seasoned serving Bobcat team. The Huskies were able to set the ball up 15 times and showed great moments of flow in their 4-2 offense. One of the A team's goals for next week will be to stop their opponents runs and start the game just a little more aggressively. B team showed some great hustle and put together several good serving runs. Their passing was much better and they were able to control the ball much better. We ended the night loosing A team and B team. Scores: A team Lost 25-6, 25-12 B team Lost 25-8, 25-17 Stats: Perfect Passes- Annika McKinney 5, Cambrie Sproul 3, Ryelyn Cox 3, Kaylee Miller 2, Inez Schemper 1 Kills- Kaylee Miller 2, Cambrie Sproul 1 Assists: Inez Schemper 1 and Cambrie Sproul 1

NV JH VB 10.10.24 NV Vs. Weskan: Huskies Traveled to Brewster to Play Weskan and the Logan/Palco Trojans. Brewster is our current meet in the middle place for our JH VB/FB Games with Weskan. This year, Brewster also had a home game this same night with Logan/Palco. So on the Volleyball side, NV played Weskan first and Brewster played Logan/Palco. Winners then played the winners and losers played the losers. Weskan beat the Huskies as it took us an entire game to warm up and get into the playing mindset. The Huskies had a great night of passing against the Coyotes they just didn't play as much 3 touch-controlled volleyball. NV B team also got a chance to play Weskan and they also fell short. We had a good night of serving Weskan did a much better job of covering the entire court and moving with the ball. NV A team Lost: 10-25, 5-25 NV B team Lost: 12-25, 12-25 Stats: Aces- Cambrie Sproul 1, Inez Schemper 1 Perfect passes- Annika McKinney 6, Kaylee Miller 5, Ryelyn Cox 1, Inez 1 Kills- Annika McKinney 2, Inez Schemper 1 Assists- Cambrie Sproul 1 NV Vs. Logan/Palco After NV Lost to Weskan we got a chance to avenge the loss at home against the Logan Palco Trojans, and that we did! After dropping the first set, our JH Huskies dug deep, found some internal motivation and started having fun out on the court. Despite Logan/Palco's relentless attack from the service line and many in system attacks at the net, the Huskies fought hard and answered with many Aces, Kills and amazing defense. The Huskies set up the ball and ran the 4-2 very well. With a couple of Northern Valley Servers finishing out the 3rd set with runs of 7 and 8 the Huskies dominated in the 3rd set. It was exciting to see us play good volleyball and feel good doing so! Way to work hard Lady Huskies!! NV A Team WON! 10-25, 25-20, 25-10 Stats: Aces- Cambrie Sproul 4, Annika McKinney 4, Kaylee Miller1, Rowan Brener 1 Perfect Passes- Annika McKinney 7, Kaylee Miller 5, Inez Schemper 4, Ryelyn Cox 1, Cambrie Sproul 1 Kills - Inez Schemper 2, Annika McKinney 1 Assists- Cambrie Sproul 1
