Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Lady Bluebirds Are Class 2 District 12 Champions!: A big crowd of Bluebird supporters were on hand October 27th 2026 as Cole Camp and Warsaw met in Stover for the Volleyball District Finals!
This has been a record setting year for the Lady Wildcats with 23 wins this season. Senior Sara Miller holds the record for career digs. Senior Maylee Slavens holds the career kills record. And Senior Elizabeth Winters holds the record for career assists and aces. All under the direction of Head Coach Kelsi Brosnahan in her 6th year at Warsaw. Was Cole Camp up for the challenge? Yes indeed!
Warsaw led 3-0 starting the game, but Cole Camp quickly recovered. After a sideout, Madilynn Ogle served 5 to lead 6-3. Teams traded points almost evenly up to a 17- 14 Cole Camp lead. Sophomore Jolee Espey with 2 blocks along the way. But Warsaw had tied the game at 21 late, so time for the Dieckman teammates to work a little magic. Dakota with the kill, then Andrea a kill to lead 23-21. After a Warsaw point, Andrea blocked a Wildcat kill attempt and a failed return by Warsaw gave Cole Camp a 25-22 first set win.
Cole Camp built an 8-3 lead early 2nd set with Andrea serving 4. No let up either by the Lady Bluebirds. Dakota with a block of Kenyan Beck, a power hitting sophomore for warsaw. Couple plays later, Aspen Meyer went down to dig a Beck bomb off the floor. Speaking of defense, Ogle, Leah Allison, Kristin Carl and Olivia Vansel seemed to be in the right place at the right time most of the night! This contributed to Warsaw looking a bit frustrated as Cole Camp wrapped up the 2nd set 25-15.
Riley Raetz added to the dig totals early 3rd set. Andrea a kill and an ace to lead 8-3. But the Lady Wildcats didn't go quietly as they soon tied the set at 10. However no panic by Coach Massingill and her battle tested team. Andrea led the Lady Bluebirds into the lead with a block, a kill, and a block in that order and Ogle served 5 in a row. Likely playing her best game of the year, Espey with 2 great digs helping the Bluebird cause. And they would need it! A couple following misplays by Cole Camp and the game was tied at 22. Tied again at 23. Taylor Loganbill with a rally saving dig leading to a 24-23 tally. Slavens a score for Warsaw so another tie at 24. Cole Camp's 25th came as Andrea and Espey combine for a resounding block at the net! And the District winner came as Andrea nailed a duck at the net and that sealed a 26-24 victory for the Lady Bluebirds!
Kills: Andrea 16, Dakota 8, Allison 6, Vansel 4.
Digs: Ogle 24, Allison 14, Raetz 9, Carl 9, Vansel 8, Loganbill 7, Espey 5.
Assists: Ogle 29.
Blocks: Andrea 10, Espey 9, Dakota 5.
Great game to watch and Congratulations to the Lady Bluebirds and coaching staff on their first District Crown since 2018! Tip of the hat to Warsaw. Even though denied their first district title since 1993, a couple of their players were seen congratulating Cole Camp players after the game. Good sportsmanship is always in style!
Ok fans couple huge games coming up yet this week and both in Cole Camp. Thursday October 29th the Lady Bluebirds continue their volleyball quest at 6:30 p.m. against Miller High School. Then on Friday October 30th the Bluebird football team will try to extend their six-game winning streak! Let's fill the stands with blue!

Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Lady Bluebirds Notch 26th Win in District Semifinal Game: End of season playoffs are underway for High School Volleyball. Cole Camp is the #1 seed in the Class 2 District 12 Tournament held in Stover. Following in order are #2 Stover, Warsaw, Skyline, Tipton, Eugene and Windsor.
Two semi-final games were played October 22nd as Warsaw and Stover tangled in the 6 p.m. game. Warsaw played very well and won 25 - 19, 25 - 14, 25 - 14 over the Lady Bulldogs.
Cole Camp and Tipton took the floor at 7:30 p.m. and Madilynn Ogle served 7 of a 10-1 burst in the 1st set. Leah Allison with a Big Time dig of a kill attempt by Tipton's Kaylee Kuschel. Not only that, then Allison hit the ball over the net for a winner! But a 9-2 answer by Tipton made it a 1 point game midway. Cole Camp with a slim 17-16 lead when Olivia Vansel with a dig and follow-up score touched off a 5 point spurt to lead 22-16. Back came the Lady Cardinals with 4 in a row. Finally a Kristin Carl dig set up an Allison score, and Andrea Dieckman nailed the last point to the floor as Cole Camp won 25-20.
Riley Raetz scooped up a kill just inches off the floor early 2nd set. Andrea with 3 kills early in the set also. After an Aspen Meyer dig and Dakota Dieckman kill, Cole Camp led 11-5. As in the 1st set though, Tipton with a 9-2 run midset. Plus a 4-point add-on later to go up 19 - 16. Dakota pitched in 3 kills but Tipton still led 23-21 and it was intense! Two misfires by Tipton and an Andrea block of Kuschel and Cole Camp was up 24-23. The battle of the tall girls for each team was on! Kuschel with a block, Andrea a kill. Kuschel a kill, ditto for Andrea as the game continued into overtime. Finally a Dakota kill made it 27-26, and a hit out of bounds by Tipton allowed Cole Camp to capture the 2nd set 28-26.
Ogle with a dig / kill combo and Jolee Espey a great defensive dig as the 3rd set began. Meyer with some quick backpedaling for a dig helped to lead 12-7. But in a matter of seconds, Tipton had tied the game at 12. Ogle with one of her backflip surprises stopped their run. Andrea followed with a block and kill as the lead grew to 18-13. Cole Camp closed the door with a very solid 6-point effort with Andrea serving and Espey with a tremendous block of Tipton's hard hittin' sophomore Reese Collier! Cole Camp completed the sweep 25- 16 and will face Warsaw for the District Championship!
Kills: Andrea 16, Dakota 10, Ogle 5.
Digs: Allison 23, Ogle 17, Carl 11, Loganbill 8, Meyer 7, Raetz 5.
Assists: Ogle 30.
Blocks: Espey 5, Dieckman cousins 4 each.
Aces: 7 as a team.
