Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Back in the days before big John Deere combines took over harvest, there were threshing crews. These were groups of physically strong people who traveled about a neighborhood helping farmers separate the grain from the chaff. It was hard work and took dedication, but a barn full of grain and bedding was the end goal. So could the Lady Bluebirds volleyball teams thresh out some victories over the Lady Eagles? Indeed they did!
Cole Camp fell behind 1-4 starting the C team game. However the Bluebirds regained the lead as Lauren Hesse served 5 for a 9-6 lead. Later Adilynn Craig served 7 to help build a 21-10 margin, leading to an eventual 25 - 13 win.
Craig serving to start the 2nd set and she delivered 8 in a row. Left-handed hitter Kaylan Poe had a couple very well placed shots for scores. Teams traded points mid game, then Anna Peterson chipped in a pair of aces. Cole Camp took the 2nd set 25-11.
Maddie Flores with 6 serves starting the JV contest. Cole Camp led 14-5 and kept it going up to a 25-8 win.
Kristen Carl with a kill opening the 2nd JV set giving serving duties to Taylor Loganbill. Loganbill had 3 aces in her string of 10 serves. Holden was whistled fairly often for touching the net, but rules are rules. Just as the set started, Carl with a kill to end the set with Cole Camp ahead 25-7.
This was Cole Camp's 3rd varsity game while the 1st for Holden. The Lady Eagles have been tough in the past.
Andrea Dieckman began serving with a 5-2 lead and when she finished it was 12-2. Mandy Goosen with 3 kills in that sequence. Marilyn Hesse added 7 serves as the lead reached 20-3. Cole Camp took the 1st set 25-9.
Madilynn Ogle with 7 serves early in the 2nd set. Showing her athletic ability, Hesse with a one-arm dig, followed shortly with a kill. Leah Allison closed out the scoring with 6 serves for a 25-6 victory.
Not giving up, the Lady Eagles overcame several kills by Goosen to lead 11-9 in the 3rd varsity set. Still anybody's game with an 18-18 tie, but the Lady Bluebirds crew finished it with a 7-1 effort and a 25-19 victory for the sweep!
Kills: Hesse 9, Goosen 7, Andrea 5, Allison 4
Digs: Hesse 13, Allison 10, Goosen, Pilant, Ogle 6 each
Assists: Ogle 21
Blocks: Goosen 8, Andrea 5

Lady BLuebird Volleyball: Cole Camp welcomed Saint Paul's of Concordia to town on September 1st for 3 matches of volleyball.
Kaylan Poe served 5 helping Cole Camp get a good start in the C game. But the Lady Saints nearly tied it midway trailing by 1. From there it was mostly Blue. Adilynn Craig put down 2 aces during 6 serves as Cole Camp pulled away 25-11.
Aspen Meyer had 4 serves in a row twice in the 2nd set. Former Cole Camp resident Hannah Truwe with a nice cross court hit mid game for the Saints. Cole Camp claimed the last C team set 25-12.
In the JV contest, Maddie Flores started the set with 8 serves, including 2 aces. Nearly half of the Saints points were due to Cole Camp serving into the net or stepping to far under the net. Cole Camp closed out the set with a 10-1 run with Riley Raetz serving 6 of those. Cole Camp 25-7.
The Lady Saints led 4-1 in the 2nd JV set, however after regaining possession, Addison Brockman served 6. Riley Fairchild with a couple stuffs at the net and Cole Camp was rolling. Kristen Carl with a pair of aces mid game and Taylor Loganbill a couple well placed scores later as Cole Camp won 25-14 for the JV sweep.
The Varsity Lady Saints, traditionally has a strong program. So a good early season test for the Lady Bluebirds.
Cole Camp jumped out to a 5-0 lead and didn't look back. As Olivia Pilant was serving nearing midway leading 12-4, the Saints stiffened a bit after their timeout. The margin stayed around 7 until Madilynn Ogle served the last 6 for a Cole Camp 25-11 win.
Very close 2nd varsity set. St Paul's led 12-9, then a block and 4 serves by Andrea Dieckman gave Cole Camp a 17-13 lead. Back came the Saints to nudge ahead and take the set 25-22.
Strong 10-2 start for the Lady Bluebirds in the 3rd set. The Dieckman girls, Andrea a junior and Dakota a sophomore- cousins but not sisters - were both scoring at the net. Leah Allison and Marilyn Hesse each with 4 serves in a row. Mandy Goosen 2 scores and a block late as Cole Camp won 25-13.
Ditto in the 4th set. Cole Camp led 8-2 early and 15-9 midway. The Saints have some hitters, but Ogle turned around several smashes on defense. Final score of 25 - 15 for the Cole Camp victory!
Kills: Andrea 10, Goosen 8, Dakota 7, Hesse 6
Digs: Ogle 25, Andrea 12, Goosen 11, Hesse 9, Allison 7
Assists: Ogle 28
Blocks: Goosen 9, Andrea 9

Students in the Art 1 classes and in the Middle School Art class had an introduction to gesture drawing, getting the opportunity to draw quick, timed impressions of poses. The students took turns modeling for their table groups and drawing others in their groups. It's very difficult and they did a great job!
