Varsity volleyball team progresses

Tuesday, Aug. 27 the Kitty Kat volleyball team traveled to compete against the Shiner St. Paul Cardinals. Yorktown fell short, 25-19, 25-21, 25-14. Nobody likes to suffer a loss but head coach Ashtyn Henkes understands there is more to the game than the win/loss column. There are more ways than one to measure a team’s success. Henkes' philosophy involves evaluating the team's progress based on three factors: teamwork, personal growth, and skill development In set one, the varsity squad made a late surge but couldn’t close the gap. With the score 25-13, Sydnie Krueger hit from the right side earning a point for Yorktown. The Kitty Kats strung together a four point run with Palyn Koopmann recording two aces, bringing the score to 23-18. St. Paul was forced to call a timeout, however Yorktown stepped back onto the court unfazed. Middle hitter Carly Weischwill, killed the ball inching the team closer, 2319. Unfortunately, the Cardinal’s strong offense claimed the next two points, ending the set, 25-19. 09/04/2024 01:25 PM
