Sophomore Sophia Weber will be writing sports news for USD 487. Her first story features the HHS Lady Railers.
Coming out hot, the Lady Railers kicked off their 2021 Volleyball Season in style. With new uniforms and a student section dressed in old ones, there was no place better to be compared to the Herington High School Gym. When asked about her feelings on the night as a whole, Coach Lisa Beye said, “I was very pleased how we came back and ended up competing against a state calibar team, even though we came up short we are now able to learn from the outcome and move on.”
Central Christian
The first team they played was Central Christian based out of Wichita, their team was young and scrappy. The Lady Railers took care of this team in two sets. The first set was 25-11 and the second set was 25-7. Throughout this set they had to practice discipline and figure out how to set the pace of the game. Speaking of coming out hot, Sophomore, Ashley Mascareno, led the team in kills and kill percentage during their match against Central Christian with five kills and a 71.4 hitting percentage. Seniors, Halle Rutchman & Madi Becker proved to be a dynamic duo and also served up an ace each. Halle continued to put on a show defensively as she had 25 digs and successfully received served balls seven times. Senior, Emma Alt, was step for step with the hitters on the opposing team and earned three points for the Lady Railers in blocks. Putting up impressive numbers and refining their chemistry together was essential for the challenge they had up ahead. They were about to take on Lebo, who is ranked fourth in Class 2A across the state of Kansas.
Lebo
Lebo had strong hitters and quick feet, the matchup against the Lady Railers would be one to watch. The energy in the room was full of adrenaline and anticipation, no one truly knew what the outcome would be. The Lady Railers approached the first set with hesitation and seemed taken aback by the challenge. Going into the second set, they played with a purpose and an intensity that was not matched by the Lebo Wolves. In the third set, they fought for a lead and fought even harder to keep it. The Lady Railers lost, 14-25, 25-21, 22-25. This go around, Emma Alt led the team in kills with four and many reliable hits to continue rallies. She was also able to make other rally-ending plays at the net with her blocks, leading the team with seven blocks. Freshman Leslyn Kremeier had an impressive debut on the Varsity High School Volleyball court with ten digs and seven successful serves received. Coming up short in the end was not easy, but it was a learning experience for the Lady Railers. They are preparing now for their next game on Tuesday against the Elyria Christian Eagles and the Goessel Bluebirds at Elyria Christian near McPherson.
