Since junior high basketball has ended, it is time for Volleyball to set into action. Practices were supposed to start on Monday, January 6. However, the snow and ice came and practices got canceled for the whole week, so they had to wait a week for practices to finally start up again. 7th and 8th grade practices were on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and 5th and 6th grade practices were on Tuesday and Thursday. They are held in the cafeteria after school from 3:00 to 4:30.
Many girls are joining the team this year in 5th grade. Thirteen girls joined the team and they were Sadie Bergmann, Natalia Bochantin, Avery Buss, Olivia Harris, Mary Klie, Annie Lintker, Aubrey Lohman, Maisey Moyer, Hannah Pyle, Ella Rossel, Kassidee Shubert, Allison Sparling, and Aria Wehrle. Going up to sixth grade, the fourteen girls that joined were Blakley Buss, Hailey Carrico, Jayleigh Cooley, Kree Kremmer, Aubrey Lange, Kinley McGranahan, Emma McManus, Alivia Moss, Olivia Pyle, Amelia Riechmann, Korrynn Schuette, Emma Sigman, Nevaeh Traylor, and Leann Waltrip. Now this year the ten 7th graders are Addysyn Borrenpohl, Kaillen Friess, Penelope Herzig, Lily Klingenberg, Kylie Klingenberg, Charlie Lintker, Jolee Maynard, Rosie Ronsick, Harper Shubert, and Emmy Tepe.
