Lady Bluebird Volleyball: The Cole Camp volleyball team faced Stover in the Class 2 District 7 Championship October 29th held in the Stover Dome. And unfortunately for the Cole Camp faithful, the Lady Bluebirds came up on the short end.
Stover opened the 1st set scoring in groups of 3 while Cole Camp had to settle for 2 or less. Stover was leading 10-5, but Cole Camp came back within one midway. Andrea Dieckman a nice dig at the net and Marilyn Hesse a score off a Stover block attempt. However several of the following hits by Cole Camp either landed in the net or out of bounds as Stover pulled ahead 18-12. Dieckman another great dig of an Ashlyn Pinzke smash, but Stover won the first set 25- 16.
Once again Stover worked up a 10-5 lead in the 2nd set, but a couple hits by Leah Allison helped narrow the margin to 12-11 at midgame. This sounds so much like the first set it is painful to write. Stover removed ahead 21-14 before Mandy Goosen with a clean dig of another Pinzke rocket. Could that add a spark? Cole Camp gave it a run down to the wire but couldn't get ahead. Stover 25-23 in the middle set.
So after a close set, how about a strong start to the 3rd frame? Looked promising with a 7-2 opening for Cole Camp. That outlook faded rather quickly as Stover charged ahead with a 10-2 burst. Seemed Cole Camp was on its heels defensively. Still the score was close as Cole Camp was within one again at 15-16, but no further. Stover reeled off the next 7 and eventually won 25 - 17 to clinch the district title.
Kills-Dieckman 9, Allison 7, Goosen 5, Hesse 5, Ogle 4
Digs-Allison 14, Goosen 11, Ogle 10, Harrison 8, Hesse 7
Assists-Pilant 14, Ogle 12
Blocks-Goosen 4, Dieckman 2
This game was reminiscent of the Lady Bluebirds season. Lots of potential, some very nice plays yet marred with inconsistencies. Life can be that way also. Just have to tolerate the outcome and try harder next time.
So let's wish Stover well and look forward to next season with almost all of the current team of Lady Bluebirds back! Thank you to Arthur Keuper for this article.

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.
Kills-Goosen 11, Dieckman 8, Hesse 8, Allison 4
Digs-Pilant 12, Hesse 10, Ogle 8, Allison 8, Harrison 6, Dieckman 5
Assists-Pilant 17, Ogle 13
Blocks-Dieckman 7, Goosen 3
Aces-Ogle 9

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.
Pool Play stats not including the Skyline game.

Finally at about 4 p.m. Saturday, Cole Camp and Tipton were facing off on the Consolation side of bracket play.
Cole Camp led 7-4 early but a mid-game surge by the Cardinals gave them the edge to win the first set 25-13.
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!
