Lady Bluebirds Volleyball: Cole Camp Wins 3 of 4 at Northwest: For volleyball fans who also enjoy a drive through nature, games at Hughesville and California provided both. Sites included fall harvest of grain crops and the occasional four-legged deer. If deer want to cross the road at night, they should wear reflective tape!
Junior High A team play began at 5 p.m. October 13th and Miranda Gerken had a string of 10 serves helping Cole Camp lead 14-3. Not much change in the margin from there as Cole Camp took the first set 25-14.
Oaklee Raetz served 11 in a row early 2nd set as Cole Camp moved ahead 12-3. Then a 7-2 close out gave the Ladybirds a 25-11 victory.
Two sets of JH B team play followed and Northwest lead 9-4 early. Cole Camp did manage to tie the game at one point but came up short at the end. Northwest 25-22.
8th grader Bristin McGinnis with 10 in a row propelled the Lady Mustangs to a 16-5 lead in the 2nd set. Cole Camp whittled away at the margin but still fell 17-25 to Northwest.
Both JV teams had trouble with serves landing in the net as their game unfolded. However Kaylan Poe dropped in 5 nearing midpoint for a 12-6 lead. Addison Brockman a couple aces as she served the last 6 for a Cole Camp 25-12 decision.
Cole Camp sprang ahead 7-1 in the 2nd JV set and kept going. Lauren Hesse with a net runner kill. What is that? When the ball is hit and contacts the top of the net, once in a great while the ball will roll right on top of the net before falling to one side or the other. Addy Russell does the setter work for the JV team and much like Madilynn Ogle does on varsity, Russell threw in a surprise backflip for a score. Brockman 3 kills late and Cole Camp wrapped up a 25-7 win.
A familiar face to the Cole Camp team was on the opposing side of the net during the varsity match. Junior Maddie Flores is a starter for the Lady Mustangs. Still the friendship was obvious, and that's more important than the game score.
Wins have been scarce for Northwest this year but they put up a good effort in the 1st set. Flores with a couple digs and scores helped the Lady Mustangs build a 14-11 lead. But then the Andrea Dieckman Madilynn Ogle duo took over. These two have been practicing and playing together since third grade. Andrea with 4 kills, Ogle a handful of aces in her 12 serves! Cole Camp 25- 16.
Ogle continued in the 2nd set with 5 in a row, half of those aces. Jolee Espey nailed a duck and Dakota Dieckman multiple kills and a block. Kristin Carl and Riley Raetz kept the floor clean as Cole Camp won 25-11.
Olivia Vansel with a nice defensive dig early 3rd set. Andrea peppered the Mustang defense at the net and then served the last 7 for a 25-15 final victory.
Kills: Andrea 21, Dakota 8, Carl 5.
Digs: Carl 16, Raetz 13, Vansel 6, Loganbill 5, Meyer 5, Ogle 5.
Assists: Ogle 36.
Blocks: Dakota 4, Andrea 2.
Aces: Ogle 9.
Closing on a somber note, let's keep William Smart and family in our prayers. Long time Cole Camp School administrator, Cole Camp Fair announcer and on and on, Mr Smart experienced a medical emergency on the 13th. Another reminder we should not take days for granted.

Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Lady Pintos Outlast Lady Bluebirds: Cole Camp traveled east October 12th to California for 3 levels of volleyball action. C team play began at 5 p.m. and Cole Camp led briefly 6-5. Still a close game as California moved ahead 16 - 14. From there though the Pintos ran away with a 9-1 string and took the first set 25-15.
Second set was Cole Camp 6-5 early, and their effort improved mid-set. An 8-1 offensive push earned Cole Camp a bit of breathing room and they held it to finish ahead 25-20.
The Pintos burst through the starting gate with a 12-2 run in the JV game. Bralynn Porter served 10 of those. Likely a freshman though the game program did not list which grade the California players are in. Trailing 17-3, Cole Camp regained some ground as Kaylan Barnes served 4 including an ace. Addison Brockman a couple hits and Lauren Hesse good defensive work. Narrowed the margin to 6 late, but California held for a 25-18 win in the 1st JV set.
California led the 2nd set 4-2 and still ahead 15-11 just past halfway. Hesse with a couple well-placed tips at the net helped Cole Camp draw even at 15 each. But a 6 pt answer for the Pintos immediately following stalled the comeback attempt. Melanie Dieckman a kill making it a 2 point deficit, but that was as close as Cole Camp could make it. California 25-22.
Now for the varsity contest. Andrea Dieckman with several kills early, though California (14-10-4) still moved ahead 13-5. But a nice 5 point string by Cole Camp with Riley Raetz serving narrowed the score to 14-12. Madilynn Ogle, Kristin Carl and Raetz were taking a beating on the back row defensively, and Dakota Dieckman a beautiful front-row block late. California 25-21 in the first set.
Cole Camp led 6-5 in the 2nd set when an official blew his whistle indicating and infraction. A rather unusual arm signal was used by the official to describe the foul. Not sure what it was, and by the look on the other officials face, he wasn't sure either. Regardless a strong mid-2nd set as Cole Camp moved ahead 17-10. However the game was all tied again at 19. Couple scores by Dakota and California returns that went under the net rather than over and Cole Camp won 25-22.
Andrea with a big block of California's leader in kills Natalie Booth early third set. Olivia Vansel scooped up a ball and then a block at the net as Cole Camp led 6-4. Lady Bluebirds still up 16 - 14, then a painful stretch to watch. The Pintos reeled off 8 in a row to lead 23-16 and soon took the third set 25-21.
First 3 sets very competitive as expected by all in attendance. So how does the 4th set play out? After Cole Camp claimed the first point, Ogle served 11 in a row! No doubt she has done that before, but against a strong California team? Andrea with kills and blocks up front, Aspen Meyer and Carl excellent work on the backline. Cole Camp 25-11 in the 4th set.
Fifth set and the Pintos jumped ahead 6-1 and what would be a 15-point limit. Kills by Vansel, Andrea, Carl and Dakota brought Cole Camp back within one before California took the deciding set 15-10.
Kills: Andrea 21, Dakota 12, Vansel 6.
Digs: Carl 19, Raetz 14, Ogle 13, Vansel 10, Meyer 9, Loganbill 6.
Assists: Ogle 45.
Blocks: Andrea 7, Dakota 6, Vansel 6, Espey 4.

Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Lady Bluebirds Volleyball Tournament Champions!: Saturday October 10th was the final day of the 2026 Kaysinger Conference Volleyball Tournament. And though the games were way behind timewise, Cole Camp made it worth the wait!
Semi final game for Cole Camp on Saturday was facing Smithton at 10:30 a.m.. Score was 2-2 in the first set when Kristin Carl served 8 and the tone was set. With the score 17-7, Madilynn Ogle served the next 5 to lead 21-8. Leah Allison 2 kills late and Riley Raetz and Carl with nice defensive digs for a 25-10 win.
Andrea Dieckman and Olivia Vansel recorded kills while Ogle served 10 in a row early 2nd set. Carl a pair of one armed saves and Ogle a left-handed tip for a score. Taylor Loganbill finished the set serving 5 for a 25-5 final.
Kills: Andrea 9, Allison 5.
Digs: Ogle 6, Carl 5.
Assists: Ogle 17.
Blocks: Andrea 4, Vansel 4.
Stover had defeated Otterville in the other semi-final game so the Championship game came down to #1 seed Cole Camp and #2 Stover. Stover's record was 24-4, Cole Camp at 22-4-2. Two Powerhouse teams and Seasoned Coaches to guide them!
Very close start to the 1st set with the Lady Bulldogs up 6-5. Aspen Meyer with a great dig that Dakota Dieckman finished. Couple plays later, Carl with a dig that Ogle turned into a Kill. Allison served 4 helping Cole Camp lead 11-7. Point #13 for Cole Camp came after and Ogle set, not just another set mind you, but number 2000 in her career! And still a junior! Cole Camp claimed the first set 25-19.
Stover led the 2nd set 3-1 before Andrea swatted a couple scores for Cole Camp. Strong midset for Vansel as she powered home 2 shots and hit the floor for a dig. Cole Camp appeared to be building some momentum leading 11-9 when the Stover coaching staff openly expressed displeasure with some of the officials calls. No calls were changed, but it motivated the Lady Bulldogs to get themselves all fired up! They went from down 2 to leading by 4 in almost no time. The energy in the gym was phenomenal! Cole Camp was almost on the ropes down 18-22 when Ogle delivered a backflip score. Raetz served the next 4 made possible by 2 scores from Andrea and a huge Cole Camp defensive block! Cole Camp up 23-22.
Little miscommunication on Cole Camp's part allowed a ball to fall benefiting Stover. Next freshman Kaeleigh Brown with a kill so Stover up 24-23 with serve. An Ogle set for Andrea to kill evened the score, and two hitting errors by Stover allowed the Lady Bluebirds to clinch a 26-24 overtime Thriller for the Championship! Great great high school volleyball action!
Kills: Andrea 13, Vansel 5, Dakota 4, Allison 3, Ogle 3
Digs: Allison 10, Meyer 8, Carl 7.
Assists: Ogle 23.
Blocks: Dakota 6, Andrea 5, Espey 2, Ogle 2.

Congratulations to our Cole Camp Lady Bluebirds on their Kaysinger Conference Tournament Championship! Great Day to be a Bluebird!
Junior High Lady Bluebirds will participate in the JBMS Tournament on Oct 10 in Warsaw. Pool play begins at 9:00 AM.
Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Lady Bluebirds Continue Adding Wins in Tournament: Day 2 of the 2026 Kaysinger Conference Tournament took place October 8th in Cole Camp and another firm performance for the host team.
Cole Camp met Windsor at about 6 p.m. and still being pool play each team started with 4 on the scoreboard. The Ladybirds soon led 16-9 with Dakota Dieckman and Leah Allison adding kills. Windsor did make a couple very nice saves near their bench on balls that appeared unplayable. Rolling along at 21-14, Andrea Dieckman powered a shot over the net that caught a Lady Greyhound in the face. She stayed in the game, but once she looked in a mirror, she likely saw the imprint of the ball on her face! Cole Camp 25- 16 in the 1st set.
Second set not real close. Madilynn Ogle served 5 as part of a 10-5 lead. Aspen Meyer took over serving next and dealt in 9 in a row, the last of which an ace. With the score 20-7, Andrea nailed yet another kill and the Cole Camp PEP Club erupted! They were also holding up signs celebrating that being Andrea's 1,000th kill! Congratulations and keep adding to that total! Cole Camp took the 2nd set 25-8.
Next game on court at 6:40 included Cole Camp and Smithton. Very nice start for the Ladybirds as they moved ahead 13-7. Most plays in volleyball include a pass, set and a swing for a point. Sometimes though instincts and reactions take over when there is no time to plan. Cole Camp had one of those moments helping a rally stay alive for an eventual point. Later Ogle with a stretched out dig for point #24, and then a short set for Dakota to hammer home for a 25-18 win.
Riley Raetz served the first 4 of the 2nd set. Andrea and Olivia Vansel pounded the net for a 12-5 lead. Raetz, Allison, and Meyer were not permitting many Smithton kill attempts to reach the floor. Meyer served 5 midway for an 18-6 lead. Then Taylor Loganbill brought it home with the last 4 serves of a 25-9 victory.
Kills: Andrea 14, Dakota 8, Allison 8, Ogle 4, Vansel 4.
Digs: Ogle 11, Meyer 11, Raetz 8, Vansel 8, Andrea 7, Allison 6.
Assists: Ogle 32.
Blocks: Andrea 3, Dakota 3.
Next action for Cole Camp is 10a.m. Saturday. Come watch if more records are set and if the Lady Bluebirds can win the tournament!

Lady Bluebird Volleyball: 2026 Kaysinger Conference Volleyball Tournament Begins: October 7th at 5 p.m. the Cole Camp gym was host to the following teams listed from #1 through 10. Cole Camp, Stover, Sacred Heart, Smithton, Otterville, Green Ridge, LaMonte, Lincoln, Windsor and Northwest.
Cole Camp faced Otterville at 5:50 p.m. in pool play where each team started with 4 on the scoreboard. The Lady Eagles soon led 8-5, but that lead faded near mid-set. Score was tied at 11 when a Dakota Dieckman kill put Leah Allison up to serve. She completed 6 in a row. Madilynn Ogle one of her backflip kills and then she served the last 5 for a 25-13 win.
Second set was decided by a 7-2 run for Cole Camp early, then a 7-1 string late. A terrific team effort just past midway as the Cole Camp players were flying all over the court keeping the ball in play. When an official's whistle stopped play, the question was why? Well apparently a Bluebird had stepped over the center line under the net. Andrea Dieckman 4 kills and a block and a kill from Kristin Carl secured the last set 25-17.
After a rest while other teams played, Cole Camp was back at it with the Lincoln Lady Cardinals. Lincoln scored 2 quickly before a Taylor Loganbill dig stalled that effort. However Lincoln was still leading 17 - 15 well into the game. Cole Camp turned the corner with a 7-1 effort to lead 22-18. Lincoln countered with the next 3 so a 1 point game. Carl with a score and a couple failed returns from Lincoln help to secure a 25-22 win for the Blue crew.
Riley Raetz served 4 opening the 2nd set. Andrea stretched out her arms for back-to-back blocks of Molly Strozewski, a good volleyball player and even better softball gal. Several nice digs by Ogle helping build an 18-12 lead. Olivia Vansel powered home a couple points and Cole Camp won the final set 25-17.
Kills: Andrea 25, Dakota 12, Vansel 6.
Digs: Ogle 12, Loganbill 8, Raetz 6, Allison 6.
Assists: Ogle 45.

Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Beautiful Day Outside and Inside at Cole Camp: October 5th was one of those almost perfect weather conditions day that mid-missourians usually dream about. Sunny blue skies, slight breeze, temps upper 70s and green grass under foot. All Blessings from Above!
So could the Lady Bluebirds add a finishing touch as they faced the Lady Gremlins on the volleyball court?
The Junior High game started at 5pm and well it was almost record breaker. You may recall Madilynn Ogle serving 19 in a row and Addy Russell made it to 22 recently. Have to get an early start to contend with those numbers. Avery Nelson gave it a shot as she started the game serving and stayed there for 21. Couple aces in the mix, but mostly failed return efforts by Sacred Heart. A failed return by the Cole Camp defense allow the Gremlins a point, but that was it as Cole Camp won 25-1.
Much different start to the 2nd set as the score was tied at 7 early. Oaklee Raetz then dealt out 8 in a row helped by kills from Jody Dixon and Presley Hoke. Cole Camp clinched the 2nd set 25- 16.
On to The Varsity match with Sacred Heart at 9-8 but missing their top starter due to injury.
Cole Camp scored 2 for each 1 for Sacred Heart early in the set. Leah Allison with a string of 5, helped by Aspen Meyer, Riley Raetz and Taylor Loganbill defensive efforts. Cole Camp up 15-5. Allison 2 great digs that led to scores by Olivia Vansel and Andrea Dieckman protected that margin as Cole Camp took the 1st set 25-15.
Think tall girls can't play defense? Andrea and Olivia both with very nice digs early 2nd set. Still the Lady Gremlins managed a 7-4 lead. Dakota Dieckman a couple kills midset but again Sacred Heart still led 14-11. Then the tide turned rather quickly. Madilynn Ogle served 5 helping Cole Camp regain a 17-14 lead. Couple points later, Jolee Espey with a very nice output of 2 kills and a defensive save. Andrea served the last 6 for a 25- 16 Bluebird win.
As she does quite often, Raetz started the 3rd set serving. Very nice net work as Andrea added 4 kills off sets by Ogle for an 11-5 lead. Allison a one-arm save midpoint and the Ladybirds kept driving ahead for a 25-16 victory in the final set!

So could the Lady Bluebirds add a finishing touch as they faced the Lady Gremlins on the volleyball court?
The Junior High game started at 5pm and well it was almost record breaker. You may recall Madilynn Ogle serving 19 in a row and Addy Russell made it to 22 recently. Have to get an early start to contend with those numbers. Avery Nelson gave it a shot as she started the game serving and stayed there for 21. Couple aces in the mix, but mostly failed return efforts by Sacred Heart. A failed return by the Cole Camp defense allow the Gremlins a point, but that was it as Cole Camp won 25-1.
Much different start to the 2nd set as the score was tied at 7 early. Oaklee Raetz then dealt out 8 in a row helped by kills from Jody Dixon and Presley Hoke. Cole Camp clinched the 2nd set 25- 16.
On to The Varsity match with Sacred Heart at 9-8 but missing their top starter due to injury.
Cole Camp scored 2 for each 1 for Sacred Heart early in the set. Leah Allison with a string of 5, helped by Aspen Meyer, Riley Raetz and Taylor Loganbill defensive efforts. Cole Camp up 15-5. Allison 2 great digs that led to scores by Olivia Vansel and Andrea Dieckman protected that margin as Cole Camp took the 1st set 25-15.
Think tall girls can't play defense? Andrea and Olivia both with very nice digs early 2nd set. Still the Lady Gremlins managed a 7-4 lead. Dakota Dieckman a couple kills midset but again Sacred Heart still led 14-11. Then the tide turned rather quickly. Madilynn Ogle served 5 helping Cole Camp regain a 17-14 lead. Couple points later, Jolee Espey with a very nice output of 2 kills and a defensive save. Andrea served the last 6 for a 25- 16 Bluebird win.
As she does quite often, Raetz started the 3rd set serving. Very nice net work as Andrea added 4 kills off sets by Ogle for an 11-5 lead. Allison a one-arm save midpoint and the Ladybirds kept driving ahead for a 25-16 victory in the final set!
Kills: Andrea 15, Dakota 6, Allison 5.
Digs: Raetz 10, Allison 9, Meyer 7, Ogle 6, Loganbill 4.

Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Lady Bluebirds Contend with Tough Competition: Mike Dieckman guided the volleyball bus west Saturday October 3rd to take part in the Warrensburg Lady Tigers Invitational Tournament. Besides the host team and Cole Camp, Santa Fe, California, Adrian, Clinton, Lexington and Pleasant Hill were represented.
Pool play began at 8:30 a.m. with games going on in 2 gyms. Cole Camp met 4A Warrensburg with a 15-7 record in the main gym. Andrea Dieckman 2 quick kills before the Lady Tigers moved ahead. Clearly the main weapon on the Warrensburg team was senior Delaney Fleeman. She is a tall powerful young lady headed to the University of Arkansas Fort Smith to play college ball. That from the Athletic Director at Warrensburg who also said she has a 7 ft tall brother. Wonder how many sporting events the parents have been to between those two?
Still the defensive play of Riley Raetz , Kristin Carl, Aspen Meyer, Madilynn Ogle and Leah Allison kept enough balls up off the floor to allow Cole Camp to lead 20 -19. However Warrensburg outscored Cole Camp 6-2 from there with Fleeman notching 4 kills. Tigers 25-22.
Dakota Dieckman joined Andrea with more kills in the 2nd set. Two blocks by Andrea of Fleeman bombs helped Cole Camp lead 22-18 late. Like the first set, Cole Camp was almost there but not quite. Warrensburg took the second set 25-23.
Second pool play game for Cole Camp was a rematch of one week ago with Santa Fe. Taylor Loganbill a nice dig that Olivia Vansel finished off for a Cole Camp point. Game tied at 16 just past halfway and it took a 6-1 finish by the Lady Bluebirds to take the 1st set 25-21.
Score of 2nd set was tied at 7, but a few Cole Camp misses enabled Santa Fe to move ahead 16-12. Sophomore Sue Vandiver with blocks and kills for the Lady Chiefs. Dakota and Vansel returned fire for a 20-20 tie. Andrea served the last 4 for a 25-21 victory.
Third pool play game for Cole Camp included the California Pintos who led 11-7 midway. Andrea with multiple kills keeping Cole Camp in range. However a 6 pt string late propelled the Pintos to a 25-19 win.
Lots of strong hits and digs by both teams in their 2nd set. Jolee Espey pitched in some defensive saves and 2 great digs by Meyer led to Cole Camp scores. Cole Camp clinched the 2nd set with an Ogle over the back tip that fell to the floor for a 25-21 victory!
Pool play stats:
Kills: Andrea 20, Allison 10, Dakota 8, Vansel 8.
Digs: Ogle 13, Meyer 10, Carl 9, Allison 8, Espey 8, Loganbill 7.
Assists: Ogle 44.
Blocks: Andrea 9, Dakota 7, Espey 3.
Final game of the day for Cole Camp started at 1:40 p.m. vs Clinton. Andrea several kills nearing mid 1st set but Clinton generally held a 5 point margin. Allison back to back digs in the same rally late but the Lady Cardinals claimed a 25-20 win.
Cole Camp was obviously tired as the 2nd set vs Clinton unfolded. On the other hand Clinton had 2 sophomores who appeared to have a full gas tank as they built an 11-4 lead. Loganbill ended up flat on the floor making a dig. Andrea a block and an Ogle ace narrowed it to three late. But no closer as Clinton won the 2nd set 25-17.
Kills: Andrea 7, Dakota 3.
Digs: Allison 8, Raetz 5.
