Cole Camp Bluebird Volleyball: Sedalia Sacred Heart came to Cole Camp October 1st for JV and Varsity volleyball.
Nearly even numbers put on the scoreboard in the JV game. Kristin Carl with scores as Cole Camp led 12-11 midway. Maddie Florez served 5 down the stretch to help secure a 25-19 first set win.
Sacred Heart led 7-5 early second set, but that was their last lead for the game. Kaitlyn Whitworth a couple kills off Taylor Loganbill sets. Addy Russell served 5 midway and Carl closed out the set with a pair of aces in her 6 serves. Cole Camp 25-13.
A quick 5-0 start for the Varsity Lady Bluebirds while Olivia Pilant was serving. Andrea Dieckman with several kills as the lead grew to 13-7. Ashlyn Russell served 5 later as Cole Camp won 25-10.
And 11-2 opening for Cole Camp in the 2nd set. Mandy Goosen with opportunistic play at the net for scores. What does that mean? If a return from the opponent is floating barely over or near the net, smack it! Goosen, along with Marilyn Hesse and Leah Allison did just that and the Lady Birds won the 2nd set 25-10.
Dieckman and Hesse with blocks of the young Gremlin hitters in the third set. Cole Camp was leading 15-6, but it wasn't over. Sacred Heart put together a 9-1 come back despite great defensive hustle by Hesse. She had made a save in front of the Cole Camp pep club. Following was a Gremlin shot to the back corner on the other side of the court. Hesse sprinted over there and made contact with the ball, but couldn't quite keep it in play. Still a very nice effort!
A 17- 17 tie became a 25-17 victory as Dieckman served the final seven.

Cole Camp Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Cole Camp traveled to Tipton on a beautiful warm and dry September 30th.
The Cole Camp JV team once again put together a very solid performance. They led the first set 14-8 midway and finished it 25-13.
Cole Camp led the second set 10-3 early. The Cardinals narrowed the gap but couldn't overcome the deficit. Cole Camp won the set 25-19 for the match victory.
The Tipton varsity team had a 9-4-3 record and are part of the recently established Central State 8 Conference. However only five of the eight schools have a volleyball program.
After trailing early, Cole Camp recovered to lead 11-6 and finished the first set ahead 25-21. Very nice teamwork on display by the Lady Bluebirds.
Second Varsity set was even better for Cole Camp! Pick any team member and it seemed they were always in the right spot. Defense and offense both were clicking together. Cole Camp 25-8 in the set. Comparable to the first major climb on a roller coaster, excitement and anticipation!
Most of the 3rd set still went well. Cole Camp led 18-15, but Tipton made up some ground to lead 22-20. After a Cole Camp time out, the Lady Bluebirds scored the next four to lead 24-22. Oh so close! However the Lady Cardinals scored the last four to win 26-24.
No doubt Tipton had momentum in the 4th set. They had a 13-3 run midway, yet Cole Camp answered with an 11-4 effort to tie at 22. But Tipton won 25-23.
The roller coaster was on the downhill portion of the track for Cole Camp in the 5th set. Tipton led 7-0 and 2 timeouts by Cole Camp were not able to reverse the train. Tipton won the final set and 15-7.

Cole Camp Lady Bluebird Volleyball: The Lady Bluebirds played volleyball Saturday September 28th in Sedalia. In addition to the host school, Santa Fe, Marshall, Sweet Springs, Versailles, Osage and Lafayette County were involved.
First game for Cole Camp was facing the much larger school Smith -Cotton. A 6-point surge midway was the deciding moment in the 1st set. Smith - Cotton was able to hold that margin for a 25-21 win.
Nice work by Cole Camp in the 2nd set building an 18-14 lead. A very effective timeout call by the Lady Tigers Coach as they followed with an 8-1 run. Enough to turn the game into another 25-21 win for S-C.
Next game placed Cole Camp vs Santa Fe (8-3). The Lady Chiefs were tied or ahead in both sets start to finish. Only one string of 3 points for Cole Camp. Santa Fe won 25-14, 25 -15.
Third game of pool play saw the Lady Bluebirds facing the Lady Owls of Marshall. A great string of 8 in a row early by Cole Camp provided a much-needed emotional boost! Cole Camp won the first set 25 - 17.
Second set also to Cole Camp 25-19, thanks to a 5-1 finish to wrap up pool play.

So on to afternoon bracket play where Cole Camp played Sweet Springs. The Bluebirds built a 7-2 lead early, and then put this one away as Marilyn Hesse served a dozen, yes 12 in a row! Pilant and Ogle were setting them up, Goosen and Allison were knocking them down! Cole Camp won 25-6.
Cole Camp trailed by 5 midway in the 2nd set, but several kills by Dieckman help the Bluebirds pull even. By scoring the last seven of the set, Cole Camp won 25-15.
Finally it was Cole Camp vs Lafayette County Higginsville in the Consolation Finals. Both sets very competitive throughout. However the Lady Huskers were able to ease ahead when needed and so Cole Camp came up on the short side of 21-25, 21-25 scores.

Cole Camp Vollebyall: This recap may have a familiar tone. The JV Lady Bluebirds were victorious September 26th hosting the Lady Bulldogs. Unfortunately the Varsity Ladybirds came up short.
The JV contest went well for Cole Camp. Taylor Loganbill served 7 early as part of an 8-1 lead. Riley Raetz served 4 midgame for a 19-6 lead. Cole Camp took the first set 25-13.
Kristin Carl served 7 opening the 2nd set. One was an ace, another looked like a sinker pitch. Yep the ball dropped just before reaching the defender. Kodi Dieckman a nice block and Kaitlyn Whitworth a couple scores along the way. Last seven points for Cole Camp with Maddie Florez serving for a 25-7 win!
Stover Varsity carried a 10-3-1 record starting the game. They are led in kills and digs by senior Ashlyn Pinzke. Plus they have another strong hitter in Jr Maycee Burton. Therefore always a hitter on the front row.
Decent start for the Lady Bluebirds as the score was 7-9 Stover. However as Pinzke warmed up, Cole Camp struggled to find a way to offset the angle and accuracy of her shots. Stover took the first set 25-10.
Mandy Goosen with several kills in the 2nd set. However Cole Camp never scored more than two in a row. Second set to Stover 25-11.
Madilynn Ogle and Andrea Dieckman teamed up for a couple set and kill combos in the 3rd set. Leah Allison with defensive and offensive plays helping build an 11-8 lead midway. Nice finish to the set as Cole Camp used a 10-2 run to claim the third set 25 - 16.
Could they carry that momentum forward? Well they tried! Olivia Pilant with sets for Hesse to finish. However Burton and Pinzke were more than the Lady Bluebirds could offset. Except for perhaps the Dig of the Year so far turned in by Kate Harrison. Pinzke had smoked the ball towards an opening in the Cole Camp defense. But Harrison got there and met the ball square with both arms leading to a point! Great job! Cole Camp made the 4th set close but Stover eventually won it 25-20.
