2026 Girls Volleyball District Tournament Class 2 District 12 Tournament Bracket
Lady Bluebird Volleyball: JV Lady Bluebirds Win Volleyball Tournament: Cole Camp hosted a Junior Varsity Tournament on October 17th beginning at 8 a.m.. Other teams included were Holden, Northwest, Tipton, Warsaw and Sacred Heart.
First pool play game for Cole Camp was opposing Holden and both teams started with 4 on the scoreboard. Cole Camp quickly added 7 with Lauren Hesse notching 2 kills and Kaylan Poe a crosscourt winner. Slowly but surely the Lady Eagles came back and tied the game at 21. Addison Brockman with 2 kills late helped Cole Camp take the set 25-22.
Addy Russell a couple aces in her string of 5 early 2nd set. The left-handed Russell also notched a couple kills midset. Melanie Dieckman served 4 late as Cole Camp won 25-15.
Next pool play game for the Lady Bluebirds included the Northwest Lady Mustangs. Hesse served 5 early and kills by Charlotte Harper helped build an 18-9 lead. Not much change from there as Cole Camp finished ahead 25-15.
Score of 2nd set was 7-5 when Russell started serving for the Blue Crew. Any guesses? More than 10? How about 15! Cole Camp 25-8 in the final pool play set.
Championship match started just before noon and featured Cole Camp and Tipton. Starting from zero, the Lady Cardinals worked up a 10-5 lead. Kaylyn Barnes with a nice dig and back-to-back kills by Russell and Brockman started to narrow the gap. Cole Camp finally caught the Cardinals at 18 and moved ahead 23-20 with Kaylyn Barnes serving. But hold on, Tipton came back to tie at 23. Finally a Brockman score and a Tipton miss at the net gave Cole Camp a 25-23 victory!
The Lady Bluebirds led the 2nd set 8-4, but the Lady Cardinals threw in an ace or 2 to produce a tie at 8. Still tied at 13 when Cole Camp made their move. Brockman served 6 creating space and Hesse wrapped it up serving the last 4 for a 25- 16 Championship victory! Thank you to Arthur Keuper for writing this article!!

Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Lady Bluebirds Clinch Conference Championship on Senior Night: Thursday OCT 15th was the last home volleyball game for Seniors Andrea Dieckman, Riley Raetz and Taylor Loganbill. It was also Pink Out night in recognition of those who have or currently are dealing with cancer issues. Kudos to the Smithton team wearing pink also. And the seat William Smart had sat in all season was empty with a pink ribbon wrapped around it in memory of his very recent passing.
Addy Russell served 5 as Cole Camp moved ahead 6-2 in the opening JV set. Later, Melanie Dieckman served 5 as part of a 10-1 run and Cole Camp took the set 25-15.
It was the Lady Tigers with a strong 8-1 effort opening the 2nd set. Russell nice hustle at the net and Kaylan Poe a kill and an ace midway. Lauren Hesse a couple scores late but Cole Camp couldn't catch the Tigers and so Smithon won 25-15.
Melanie Dieckman with 7 in a row opening the last JV set. Addison Brockman with 2 well placed hits and Kaylyn Barnes a stretched out dig right at the bench. Cole Camp 15-10 in the deciding 3rd set.
Very tight start to the Varsity game. All 6 players for each team had served at least once and the score was only 8-8. Enter Madilynn Ogle beginning the second rotation. This time she hung around with 11 in a row! Couple aces from her, couple Andrea Dieckman kills and it was Cole Camp 25-13 in the first set.
After a 4-4 start in the 2nd set, Cole Camp was able to score 3 or 4 at a time compared to mostly single points scores for Smithton. Leah Allison and Andrea were adding kills as the Ladybirds took a 25-12 victory.
Loganbill served 5 as part of a 10-8 start to the 3rd set. Andrea held up a do not enter sign, otherwise known as a block, and Aspen Meyer a great save very near the stage! But the wind shifted. Sophomore Eden Herren with 7 in a row as Smithton pulled ahead 16-10. Cole Camp erased that lead and went up 21-20. Carl served 5 in that effort.
Cole Camp up 24-21, but then tied at 24, 25, 26 and 27! Finally 2 failed returns by Cole Camp allowed the Lady Tigers to win the overtime set 29-27.
Back to business in the 4th set as Andrea and Olivia Vansel powered shots over the net and both blocked incoming attempts. Allison served 7 late and a kill by Dakota on a slow flying duck that almost took the hide off the ball! Cole Camp 25-15 wrapping up their 25th and victory of the year!
Kills: Andrea 24, Dakota 11, Allison 10, Ogle 6, Vansel 4.
Digs: Allison 15, Ogle 14, Raetz 13, Carl 12, Meyer 11, Loganbill 7.
Assists: Ogle 43.
Blocks: Andrea 7, Vansel 3, Espey 2.
Aces: Ogle 6.
Great regular season, now it gets even tougher! District play for Cole Camp October 22nd 7:30 p.m. at Stover. Come on over!
