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!

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.
