Lady Bluebird Volleyball: The Class 2 District 7 volleyball playoffs continued October 24th in Stover. Teams in District 7 were #1 Stover, Cole Camp, Eugene, Sacred Heart, Russellville and Calvary Lutheran from Jefferson City.
Cole Camp faced Calvary Lutheran (10-10-1) at about 7:15 Thursday evening. Calvary has about 100 students in grades 9 through 12. And a Cole Camp connection as Robert and Cheri Farrington's daughter Kelly and her husband have a daughter Sydney Volmert on the team.
Mandy Goosen with several scores early for Cole Camp, but the Lady Lions roared out to a 10-5 lead. Good timeout by Coach Massingill, as her Ladybirds responded to tie it at 10. Next the Lutherans built another 5 point lead at 17-12. Marilyn Hesse followed with a couple hits while Olivia Pilant served 5 in a row. Tied at 18, then again at 20, anybody's game. Cole Camp gained possession at 21-20 and Hesse, showing no ill effects from her ankle issue last game, served the last 4. Cole Camp won 25-20.
Andrea Dieckman with a block opening the 2nd set. Calvary freshman Sydney Foutes and sophmore Alayna Sprengel did a nice job hitting the ball in open spots. Still the Lady Bluebirds held a 20-16 lead when Calvary called timeout. Turned into an extended timeout as a water bottle somehow jumped off the upper walking area and down onto the floor it's splattered! Took 4 people with large towels and a mop to corral the spill! Unfazed Cole Camp continued to a 25-18 victory in the middle set.
Your Lady Bluebirds led the 3rd set 7-5 when a Leah Allison score put Madilynn Ogle up to serve. Okay fans, what's your guess on her string of serves? Choices are 8, 12, or 16. 16 is correct, including several Aces! Cole Camp rolled to a 25-6 win in the final set.

Cole Camp Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Cole Camp Varsity Volleyball was at Versailles High School about all day October 19th. Unlike the most recent outing at Northwest where after victories the team might have been feeling tipsy, this was more of a let's go home and take a nap ending.
Pool play games where 2 sets and started at 4 each on the scoreboard. Cole Camp faced Warsaw at 9:50 a.m. and a good first set! Although Warsaw lead 19-16, Andrea Dieckman dealt out 6 serves to help Cole Camp move ahead. Marilyn Hesse a kill and a Mandy Goosen block gave Cole Camp a 25-22 win.
Cole Camp led the 2nd set 12 - 9 in part due to Leah Allison with a nice one arm stretch to keep the ball in the air. However Adison Sherrill followed with 9 serves for the Wildcats to lead 19-12. Cole Camp narrowed the margin back to 3, but no closer. Warsaw took the second set 25-21.
Next action came about with Skyline (15-12-4) as the opponent. Again starting with 4 each, but not for long. The Lady Tigers just simply ran away from the Lady Bluebirds in the first set with a 25-10 score.
Unfortunately injuries can be part of being active and Marilyn Hesse certainly is that. Early in the 2nd set she went down under the net. After a few moments, she was helped to the Cole Camp bench with an apparent ankle injury. Skyline followed with a 10-point run to take the last set 25-12.
Last pool play game for Cole Camp was facing the host school Lady Tigers. Even with Marilyn injured, her Mother Leslie still took a turn serving as line judge. That's supporting the team!
Versailles kind of built up some steam early and led 18-12 midway. Regardless Cole Camp came back to tie at 21 on an Allison ace! Close but not quite, Versailles claimed the first set 25-22.
Versailles seemed to pick apart the Cole Camp defense in the next set. They worked up a 19-11 lead, but the Lady Bluebirds didn't quit. Olivia Pilant strung 5 serves together, and Goosen with a big time dig and Madilynn Ogle a kill. Eventually though Versailles won last set 25-20.

Finally at about 4 p.m. Saturday, Cole Camp and Tipton were facing off on the Consolation side of bracket play.

Once again the Lady Bluebirds held an early margin in the 2nd set, only to endure another strong midway response by their opponent. Tipton led 17-11 in route to a 25-22 final score.

After the game, Marilyn Hesse was putting some weight on her foot while cautiously walking. When asked about it, she said with a big smile, "Oh it will be fine" Great attitude!

Juniors and Seniors attended the College Fair at Warsaw High School on October 17. They met with college representatives from colleges, tech schools and the military.
Cole Camp Lady Bluebirds: Most likely all the girls that play volleyball for Cole Camp in grades 7 - 12 were in Hughesville October 17th. And what a beautiful night. Full moon overhead, harvest winding down, and a full court sweep for the Lady Bluebirds!
In the first Junior High contest Cole Camp trailed 8-11, but momentum quickly changed. Charlotte Harper served 9 and Jolee Espy finished the set with 6 serves in a 17-1 march to the finish. Cole Camp won 25-12.
Smaller but yet effective combinations by Cole Camp in the 2nd set resulted in the same 25-12 victory to wrap up the match.
Two additional sets for Junior High were played by other 7th and 8th graders as both schools have ample players. Cole Camp won the first set of this match 25-21.
Last Jr High set was a back and forth effort through mid-game. Trailing 13-16, Cole Camp put together a 12-1 string for a 25-17 final.
How did the JV Lady Bluebirds keep the winning streak going? Maddie Florez served 11 in a row for an 18-3 lead in the first set. Leah Bauer with a couple kills late as Cole Camp claimed the set 25-11.
Kristin Carl with 7 serves opening the second set. Kodi Dieckman and Kaitlyn Whitworth scored at the net and Cole Camp took the last JV set 25-12.
Last regular season game for each Varsity team. Cole Camp was 15-11-1 and Northwest at 10-12-1. One of the better hitters in the conference is Northwest Junior Gabby Meyer. However Cole Camp may have more balance, so who would prevail?
Andrea Dieckman blocked a Meyer shot, Meyer blocked Dieckman. So the tone was set early as Cole Camp barely led 11-10. From that point though Cole Camp pulled ahead of the Lady Mustangs. Marilyn Hesse and Leah Allison joined the hit brigade as Cole Camp won the first set 25 - 15.
Ashlyn Russell with 4 serves opening the second set. Madilynn Ogle pitched in 4 serves midway as Cole Camp led 13-11. Ogle and Olivia Pilant do a lot of fancy footwork to be in the right place to assist their teammates with scoring. Despite a 5 point surge by Northwest late, Cole Camp held on for a 25-22 victory in the 2nd set.
The 3rd set was as competitive as high school volleyball can get! Northwest would build a 2-3 point edge, then Cole Camp back to tie or go up by 1 or 2. Dieckman a left-handed kill and blocked a Meyer shot for a 13- 13 tie. Unfazed, Meyer responded with 2 kills before Mandy Goosen notched another kill for Cole Camp.
Now tied at 19, Northwest gained a 3-point lead but then hit the ball out of bounds. Dieckman followed with two scores so knotted at 22. Hesse with the kill to lead 25-24, but Meyer tied it with a Mustang score.
Northwest had possession with the score 26-26 but their serve went out of bounds giving Cole Camp the ball leading 27-26. Marilyn Hesse put a well placed serve over the net that the Lady Mustangs were unable to return so a great 28-26 victory for the Lady Bluebirds!
Kills-Dieckman 15, Hesse 12, Goosen 9, Allison 8
Digs-Ogle 18, Goosen 12, Hesse 11, Allison 10, Pilant 7, Harrison 6
Assists-Pilant 25, Ogle 14
Blocks-Dieckman 9
Earlier in the season this game may have went the other way. But the Lady Bluebirds have kept working and are now reaping the rewards for their efforts. Keep it going!
