From Head Volleyball Coach Janelle Noel...
The state ranked Nemaha Central Lady Thunder battled it out with us on our home court Thursday night. Although some of the scores don’t show it, our teams played hard and really played very well. There were some long rallys, huge blocks, and amazing kills. They battled all night and never quit cheering each other on and supporting each other. I’m so very proud of this team! Thank you so much to the parents that send videos and pictues!
