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!!!

Madison and Kaylan competed in two of the toughest STAR Events at the national level and represented Cole Camp with true Bluebird pride, professionalism, and determination.
Results:
Madison Paxson--Gold, Level 3 Focus on Children
Kaylan Poe--Gold, Level 2 Sports Nutrition
A heartfelt thank you goes to Superintendent Mrs. Hess, Principal Mrs. Tinney, the Cole Camp Board of Education, and Mr. and Mrs. Paxson and Mr. and Mrs. Poe for your incredible support not only in helping make our trip to Washington, D.C. possible, but also for encouraging and supporting the girls throughout the year as they developed their projects.
We would also like to thank everyone else who played a part in this journey.

Thank you for believing in our students and celebrating this experience with us. We are so proud to represent Cole Camp and grateful for a community that always rallies behind its kids.
