Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Lady Bluebirds Quickly Dispatch Lady Indians: Russellville volleyball came to Cole Camp on what had been a scorcher of a day for September 8th. 100° and lack of moisture is turning crops and lawns the same color as brown gravel roads!
Enough of the outside elements, how did the games turn out? JV teams started the evening and Cole Camp built a 9-3 lead with Melanie Dieckman serving 4 of those. Little more even scoring midset, then Cole Camp put it away with an 8-1 closing. Kaylan Poe served the last 5 as Cole Camp won 25-10.
Poe picked up the serving position opening the 2nd set and put in 9. Several near aces as Russellville has a lot of freshman who are learning. After a Cole Camp hit into the net, Addison Brockman with a score to put Addy Russell up to serve. She delivered 7 while Lauren Hesse recorded a couple kills. Cole Camp gave Russellville their 2nd point by hitting the ball out of bounds, after which Brockman served the last 7 for a 25-2 victory.
The Russellville Varsity record stood at 2-1 beginning play and they start 2 freshmen. Very nice execution for the Lady Bluebirds as they opened up a 13-5 bulge. Andrea Dieckman making use of her height and ideal sets by Madilynn Ogle contributed to the scoring. While Riley Raetz was serving 8 in a row later, Kristin Carl with a couple scores and a fine defensive save. Ogle closed out the set serving for a 25-8 win.
Andrea kept adding to her kill totals early 2nd set. One Russellville return was coming down very near the net like a wounded duck. Question was which side would it be on? While the Lady Indians were guessing, Andrea jumped up and hammered it to the floor! But Russellville stiffened by mid-set with senior Mandy Miller hitting with authority. Another senior Jada Schmidt 5'11" blocked a couple Cole Camp efforts and the Lady Indians were ahead 21-20. Leah Allison dropped in an ace, Taylor Loganbill a great save, and Andrea another kill to clinch the 2nd set 25-22.
Close 3rd set early. Dakota Dieckman a couple kills, yet both teams had a few miscommunication moments. Allison served 5 for a 14-8 lead, then Russellville answered with the next 5. Raetz with nice defensive work down the stretch and Olivia Vansel an impressive block of a Miller shot! Cole Camp wrapped up the sweep 25-20.
Stats: Kills-Andrea 14, Dakota 7, Carl 6
Digs-Carl 10, Raetz 9, Loganbill 6, Allison 6, Ogle 5
Assists-Ogle 25
Blocks-Andrea 4

Cole Camp Volleyball: Lady Bluebirds Sweep Lady Eagles:The calendar showed September but it felt like August as Holden came to town Tuesday for three volleyball games.
Holden led the C team first set early, but a strong 11-2 run midset changed the outcome. Cole Camp 25-18 in the set.
Kaylyn Barnes a couple aces in the 2nd set. Then another freshman Elaina Alcala peeled off 10 serves in a row and Cole Camp soon took a 25-9 last C team set.
Several very nice defensive plays by Addy Russell as the JV game unfolded. Lauren Hesse 4 serves midway and Kaylan Poe with several scores. Melanie Dieckman threw in a couple kills as Cole Camp took the first set 25-21.
Score nearly even in the 2nd JV contest until Aspen Meyer put together a string of 5 serves. Addison Brockman with a couple winners at the net. But no runaway as Holden countered with 5 in a row. Still the end result was Cole Camp 25-21 in the final JV set.
This was the 3rd Varsity match for Cole Camp but the 1st for the Lady Eagles. Holden jumped ahead 4-1, but they soon found themselves on the other end of the score. Andrea Dieckman served 6, Madilynn Ogle set them up and Dakota Dieckman sent them to the floor! Good defense also with a one arm save by Kristin Carl and Riley Raetz turning an Eagle hit around. Cole Camp took the 1st set 25-21.
Impressive play in the 2nd set for Cole camp. Ogle served 6 while Andrea recorded 3 kills. Carl with 4 serves and scores by Dakota and Olivia Vansel made it 20-5. Cole Camp cruised to a 25-11 second set decision.
No long runs in the 3rd set but scoring 2 or 3 points for each 1 of your opponent nets the same result. Leah Allison dropped in an ace helping build a 12-4 lead. Dakota topped a strong performance with a couple scores to close out the last set 25-13.
Stats: Kills- Dakota 12, Andrea 11, Carl 5
Digs- Carl 18, Raetz 13, Ogle 12, Allison 9
Assists- Ogle 32
In pregame comments, the Holden Head Coach said seeing good volleyball play gave him goosebumps. Maybe that is why after the Cole Camp game, he was wearing a jacket! Thank you to Arthur Keuper for writing this article!!
