Chadron Cardinal volleyball team defeats Hot Springs Bison

     The Chadron Cardinal volleyball team defeated the Hot Springs Bison in Hot Springs October 21, 2019.
     The match went 3 sets with the scores being 25-5, 25-8, and 25-6. This was the first and last time the Cardinals would play the Bison this season. Allie Ferguson led in kills with 9 and Shea Bailey led in digs with 8. Tyleigh Strotheide led with 26 assists out of 50 attempts, which is an incredible stat said head coach, Blakelee Hoffman.
     Going into this match, Coach Hoffman said being so close to the end of the season, she wanted her team to focus on staying consistent with their game; executing plays, serving well, and not playing down to the other teams level. The Cardinals did exactly what Coach Hoffman wanted. She said, "I always worry about the girls playing down to the opponents level, but we passed the ball well, served well, and executed our plays like we needed to." Overall, Coach Hoffman was pleased with how relaxed and confident her girls played.
     Thursday, October 24, the Cardinals will play the Alliance Bulldogs for their last home game. They have played Alliance 2 other times this season. They won one of the games and lost the other one. Coach Hoffman said, "This game is a must win!" The Cardinals will need to play relaxed, smart, and be sure to run their offense as planned to gain this win.
     Saturday, October 26, the Cardinals head to Alliance for the Pilfold Invite. These will be their last games before sub districts. Chadron will be playing Oelrichs South Dakota, Yuma Colorado, and Grand Island Central Catholic in their pool. Coach Hoffman said, "Saturday will give us a few challenges with Grand Island Central Catholic in our pool, but after watching some film, I'm feeling confident in our girls ability to win."
