Everyone following area volleyball knows how young the Warren Warriors are. They only have two seniors on the roster, and use many of the JV players at the varsity level. So, when playing host to a local power like Durand ... the outcome wasn't really a surprise – or even important – Durand won, as expected. What was of interest, was how the young Warriors would compete, and how the JV match would go. The JV match was a thriller. No, it was not the 32-30 game three battle that took place bet...
There might be some form of legal paperwork that needs to be done, but as far as we're concerned, we're officially changing Rachael Setterstrom's name to Settersome – More. Behind a 13 kill performance by the Panther senior, Lena-Winslow was able to rally back to knock off Durand at home in a big NUIC-North show down of top teams. Game one was ugly, there's no other way to describe it. The Panthers, who came into the match leading the north with a perfect 5-0 mark, looked nothing like a c...
Talk about the history of the Eastland Cougars, and you have to start with the lengthy list of outstanding setters they have had. From Hope Linker and Ashley Beyers to Jenica Stoner, there was always a "master" handling the distribution duties that made the Cougars so effective. So, when it was announced that a freshmen – a girl not even 15 years old yet – was going to be handed the starting job ... it raised some eyebrows. But following the Cougar's sweep over Milledgeville Wednesday nig...
The Galena Pirates are the reigning State Champions, and currently sit at 19-1 on the season. The River Ridge Wildcats, graduated most of their kills, and are in full rebuild mode. So, while the outcome of the match was never really in doubt, what was important to see was how well the Wildcats could compete against the powerful Pirates. The answer ... was a bit ambiguous. Galena swept the conference battle 25-13, 25-9, with superstar outside hitter – senior Gracie Furlong – leading the way wit...
In what was easily the best game Lena-Winslow has played this season, Lena-Winslow put a running clock defeat on their biggest NUIC-North challenger, Du/Pec, before claiming the 46-22 victory. The strategy was a simple one – keep the ball away from the Rivermen's highly talented quarterback, Cooper Hoffman. When he's on the sideline, he can't hurt you. But the Rivermen opened the game with possession of the ball – and promptly moved it down the field. An encroachment penalty against the Pan...

The RR/SM Wildcats Boy’s Golf Team was able to record a team score of 339, which was good enough to finish in third at the Galena Golf Regional held last week, and advance them to the Sectional competition. Rockford Lutheran won the meet with a score of 315, with Rockford Christian coming in second with a score of 339. The top ten individuals who are not members of one of the advancing teams also get to advance, and there was a playoff needed to close out the top ten. Brant Romer of Galena, Nathan Woodley of PC/LW and Zavier Mills of Dakota eac...

If all you did was look at the faces of the players involved as Orangeville hosted Warren in a non-conference battle Monday night, you'd swear Warren was winning. The Warriors brought a lot of fire and emotion into the Bronco gym – cheering each other for nice plays, and pumping each other up if a mistake was made. "These kids really like playing together, and you can see it," said head coach Brynn Calow. "I don't know what was going on for Orangeville, it was like they didn't even want to be h...
Typically, we report on the number of kills a team or player gets in a volleyball match. Aces are always impressive, and unforced errors can cost you big time. But a major skill in volleyball that doesn't even have a stat for it is the pass. Scales Mound and River Ridge put the importance of that skill on full display during their special Volley For A Cure conference battle in Scales Mound on Tuesday. "Are you going to ask me why we didn't get the ball to Laiken Haas more," asked River Ridge...
At first blush, East Dubuque was giving Stockton everything it wanted in their conference battle in Stockton Wednesday night. For each kill recorded by the Blackhawks, the Warriors had an answer as the score steadily climbed without either team able to pull away. But with the game close at 13-12 Stockton, the Blackhawks began flexing their muscle from behind the service line. Kaydra Wright nailed back-to-back ace serves to give the Blackhawks a little breathing room. And then the front line...
Forreston has a solid volleyball team. In fact, many could argue that they also boast one of the best hitters in the region in Jaiden Schneiderman. But Thursday night in Lena the Cardinals – who were missing one starter – got manhandled by a Panther team that looked almost unstoppable 25-16, 25-14. Schneiderman was once again, the main focus of the defense – and she needed to be as the senior outside hitter blasted down12 kills on the night – 8 in game one – and also made a stuff block. But that...
It was supposed to be the big show down of the week – Stockton was playing host to EPC to see which team would establish itself as the third best team in the NUIC. That's what it was supposed to be. "On the first play of the game we had a mis-alignment," said Stockton head coach Sean Downey. "He was supposed to be in the right gap, but he jumped over to the left gap. Sure enough, they run the ball right at the gap where he was supposed to be." Adam Awender handed the ball to senior Draven Z...
Sarah Winter of RR/SM shot an impressive 87 over 18 holes at the NUIC Girl’s Conference meet last week to claim the top spot among all competitors. As a team, the top finishers were: 1. Galena 440 2. PC/LW 457 3. West Carroll 472 4. RR/SM 476 5. Eastland 497 Individually, the top 20 golfers were: 1. Sarah Winter, RR/SM 87 2. Aspen McGlynn, Forreston 95 3. Jaden Brower, Eastland 97 4.

The game had been scheduled since last year, but suddenly, Tuesday afternoon just before school let out, Lena-Winslow was notified that Mineral Point – the team they were to play Friday night – was cancelling their scheduled meeting. “Officially” from what we were able to find out, the reason was that the “Pointers” had suffered too many injuries, and didn’t feel they should put underclassmen in the position of playing varsity competition. Now, all of that is understandable. What isn’t is that...
They had been dominating all season long, so it wasn’t much of a surprise that the Fulton Steamers claimed first place in the NUIC Conference meet held last week at Lake Carroll. Final top ten team scores were: 1. Fulton 316 2. RR/SM 322 3. Forreston 333 4. Dakota 358 5. Eastland 364 East Dubuque 364 7. Warren 381 8. PC/LW 388 9. Pecatonica 396 10. Galena 405 Individually, Owen VanZuiden of Fulton claimed top honors by shooting par on the day. Kaden Brown of Forreston and Camden Flack of RR/SM were close behind as they shot a 75, and 76 r...

Midway through game one of their conference battle at home against Forreston, the Wolves – for the fourth time in game one – made a service error. So frustrated was head coach Tammy Stephan that she turned to her bench and asked openly, "Can anybody get the ball over the net?" Just consider some numbers. In game one, both teams had 14 offensive points (combination of kills and stuff blocks). But Forreston made a grand total of three unforced errors, and two service errors. So, they handed the...
It had been five years since the EPC Wildcatz had beaten the Forreston Cardinals, and six years since they made it into the IHSA playoffs. And while head coach Jared McNutt always held his head high and ignored the noise ... there was plenty of grumbling going on behind closed doors. There's still a major murmur permeating the program, but after Friday night's 36-16 dominating win over the Cardinals in Pearl City, it's the kind of rumbling people don't want to make public – not because it is o...
The pre-game strategy plan for the Scales Mound Hornets was pretty simple – avoid unforced errors. If you don't make mistakes, you aren't handing your opponent any points. But in game one of their home conference battle with West Carroll ... the Hornets didn't listen. The Thunder jumped out to the early 5-0 lead without making a kill. All five points came off of Hornet hitting errors, so coach Keri Werner burned a time out to calm them down. It didn't work. Everything that could go wrong – did...
The Galena Pirates are the reigning Class 1A State Champions in Volleyball, so it only made sense that as long as they kept winning, they would hold the top spot in our area Power rankings. But all of that changed Tuesday night when the Stockton Blackhawks went into Galena and knocked off the Pirates in two games to topple them out of the top spot. "It was the most determined I've ever seen this team," said head coach Maddie Pontius. "When they walked into that gym, you could see it on their...
