Throw back Thursday


It is throw back Thursday. I would like my readers to submit a picture from long ago for throw back Thursday each week. Submit it any day and I will hold it until Thursday. Let’s get started today. The picture below is of me on the left, Fay Carlson Schinck and Shirley Sklenar Logeman on May 4th 1979. The occasion was Shirley’s 16th birthday. I can’t wait to share more pictures, so let’s get started!

Cougar volleyball struggles in five matches


Cougar Volleyball saw the varsity record slip to 2-10 as they dropped  five matches last week.

 

They met a State powerhouse in Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family.  With All-Stater Alyssa Frauendorfer leading the way Humphrey was State Champion in 2011 &2012.  With Frauendorfer’s graduation the co-op works out perfectly with Oklahoma State basketball recruit Kaylee Jensen joining the Lady Bulldogs.

 

“She’s 6′ 4″ and when they give her  a good set there is no way our girls came leap high enough to block her,” Said Coach Candi Cronin.

 

The (11-1) Bulldogs won decisively 25-2 and 25-18   L-D Stats:  (K A  B D)  Maddie R.0 0 0 0,  Vanessa P. 1 0 3 2,  Kelly W. 1 0 0 3, Hannah C. 0 1 2 3,  Haley B. 0 0 1 2,  Darcy
S. 0 0 1 3,  Brianne H. 3 0 1 6,  Sarah A. 0 0 0 4,  Abby P. 0 0 0 1.  Set Assists¨ Darcy S. 5  Maddie R. 1.

 

The (2-6) Oakland Knights took the second match of the Triangular 25-17 and 25-13.  Stats:   Maddie R. 0 0 3 3,  Vanessa P. 1 0 3 3, Kelly W. 1 0 0 0,  Hannah C. 2 1 2 6,   Haley B.  1  1 2 7,  Darcy S. 0 0 1 7,  Brianne H.  5  0  0  2,  Sarah A.  0 0 0 10, Abby P  0 0 0 1 0.  Set Assists:  Darcy S.  8.

 

The team tried a new offense at the Tekamah-Herman  Tournament.  “We switched to the 6-2 offense like Nebraska runs,” said Coach Cronin.  We have two setters with Darcy being joined by Brianne..  We were pretty rough in the first game, but got better as the tournament went on.  By the Arlington match we were getting a pretty good feel for the way to play.”

 

(10-2) Tekamah-Herman won 25-11 and 25-16.  Stats:  Maddie R.   0  1   0  9,  Vanessa P.  3  0  2  0,  Kelly W.  1  0   0  0,  Hannah C.  1  1  2  0,  Haley B.  0  0  0  1,  Darcy S.  0 0  0  5,  Brianne H.  1  1  0  2,  Sarah A.  0 0 0 10,  Abby P.  0 0 0 2.  Set Assists:  Darcy 3   Brianne 2.

 

Fort Calhoun was their second opponent.  The (6-6) Lady Pioneers took the match 25-20 and 25-14.  Stats:  Maddie R.  5  1  0 6,  Vanessa P.  0  1  0  0,  Kelly W. 0 0 0 0, Hannah C.  1  1  0  0,  Haley B.  0  1  0   2,   Darcy S.  0  1  09 3,  Brianne H.  1  1  0  5,  Sarah A.  0 0 0 9,  Abby P.  0 0 0 4.  Set Assists:  Darcy 4,  Brianne 1,  Hannah  1,  Haley  1.

 

The Lady Cougars had their best hitting game of the season against Arlington.  Their attacks came up with 26 kills.  Despite their efforts Northeast lost 2-1 with Arlington taking the opening set 25-23; Northeast topped the Eagle 25-19 in game two;  Arlington took the third 25-21.
Stats:  Madie R.  3  0  0  9,  Vanessa P.  4  3  0  2,  Kelly W.  8  0  0 1,  Hannah C.  2  4  1  1,  Haley B.  2  0  0  4,  Darcy S.  0  0  0  7,  Brianne H.  7  3  0  6,  Sarah A. 0 0 0 10, Abby P.  0 0 0 5.    Set Assists:   Maddie  2,  Darcy 12  Brianne 7.

 

The Lady Cougars will have home matches as Scribner-Snyder visits on Tuesday and LDNE hosts a triangular with Emerson-Hubbard and Winnebago on Thursday.
