Cole Camp Bluebird Volleyball: Usually the beginning Day to a ball season is one of delight and anticipation! However the mood for the Cole Camp community on opening night of the 2026 volleyball season was more stunned and sorrowful. Earlier that day, word that long time sports announcer and Cole Camp parent James Abey had suddenly passed away. Let's keep his family in our prayers for Comfort and Strength. May we also realize that every new day is a Blessing, and should not be taken for granted!
Cole Camp Freshman, JV, and Varsity teams were at Warsaw August 27th. The freshman game started at 5 p.m. and the Lady Wildcats took care of business in relatively short order winning the 1st set 25-10.
Cole Camp fell behind by 5 early 2nd set, until an 8-1 effort mid-set gave the Lady Birds a 15-13 lead. But the next 7 points went to Warsaw and they eventually won 25 - 19.
Warsaw led the first JV set 4-0 but Cole Camp tied the score at 10 nearing midset. Then a 13-3 flight for the Ladybirds, led by Aspen Meyer and Addy Russell with 4 serves each, helped lock up the 1st set 25-15 for Cole Camp.
Addison Brockman with a couple scores early 2nd set, and Charlotte Harper a kill and block helped Cole Camp nudge ahead 10-9. Then left-handed server Kaylan Poe put in 7 in a row to take control. Russell served 5 late as Cole Camp took the 2nd set 25-11.
The varsity game figured to be a very competitive match as both teams have talented players. And Warsaw's Head Coach Kelsi Brosnahan and Assistant Coach Delaney Gerken both have spent time around Coach Massingill.
Andrea Dieckman a kill, Madilyn Ogle a dive to the floor for a save, and Kristin Carl with a score. Those plays gave Cole Camp a 3-1 lead, but Warsaw came back. In fact they led 19-14 as the 1st set rounded the bend. There the Lady Birds upped their efforts and put the game away with a 10-1 finish! Andrea a couple kills and served 6 in a row. Dakota Dieckman a nice stuff of Warsaw sophomore Kenyan Beck as Cole Camp won 25-22.
As most will recall, Leah Allison has been recovering the last year or so from ACL surgery. She was on the back row during the 2nd set when Maylee Slavens fired a rocket over the net. Allison went down and dug it up, and best of all, Allison herself spring back up ready for more! That had to boost her confidence and that of her teammates. Cole Camp took the 2nd set 25-21.
Cole Camp showed very nice teamwork and chemistry for so early in the season. An ace by Taylor Loganbill made for an 8-5 lead, but Warsaw bounced back with the next 6 to lead 11-8. No panic, the Lady Birds caught and then passed the Cats with a 10-2 finish! Andrea with 5 serves and a strong presence at the net. And freshman Olivia Vansel provided some power hits at the net has Cole Camp earned the Sweep with the 25- 16 final.
First 3 games in September are at home. Come on out!

Cole Camp Volleyball: The 2026 Cole Camp volleyball team traveled to Warrensburg August 25th to take part in a Jamboree. Warsaw and Appleton City teams were also in action there.
Cole Camp faced Warrensburg first and each of 3 sets started at 10 on the scoreboard. Warrensburg took the first set 25-16. Better effort for the Bluebirds in the middle set winning 25-20.
Warrensburg had a power hitting player who had nailed several kills earlier, but the Lady Bluebird defense made a big time block mid 3rd set. Andrea Dieckman and Jolee Espey were side by side for the clean block! Warrensburg eventually took the last set 25-21.
Next the Ladybirds faced Appleton City. Coach Abby Massingill shuffled in lots of player combinations along the way. Cole Camp took three sets by scores of 25 - 16, 25-21, 25-22.
Finally Cole Camp and Warsaw were on the floor at 7:50 p.m. Still starting at 10 each on the scoreboard the Lady Wildcats just about had the Birds in a cage leading 23-20. But Cole Camp quickly regrouped to win 26-24. Close 2nd set went to Warsaw and that is where the game was ended. No third set. Just a note, none of these scores go on the season record.
So fans, the season starts for real August 27th at Warsaw at 5 p.m. Then August 31 to St Paul's Concordia. Time to check the tires and clean the windshield! Thank you to Authur Keuper for writing this article!!!
