Mustang Volleyball Grows to 17

North Nodaway’s volleyball program went from a fledgling program with a start-up junior high team to a full-blown program with 17 players this year. There are 10 out for JV volleyball and 7 more out for junior high.

Out this year for the JV are Layna Murphy, Cheyenne Murphy, Anna Nielsen, Olivia Miller, Karlie Emery, Shalena Adwell, Payton Poppa, Karissa Oberhauser, Saylor Brown, and Justice Atkison.
Out this year for the Junior High are Danielle Riedel, Jacquelyn Cline, Kelsey Barcus, Saryn Brown, Lauren Herndon, Sarah Chesnut, and MacKenzie Titus.

They are managed this year by Lindsi Jackson and Ashley Proffitt. The JV has already played two games, splitting two games in Tarkio Tuesday  night, August 28th. They beat East Atchison JV, while dropping a game to Shenandoah JV. Jackson said that Olivia Miller and Cheyenne Murphy have established themselves as good leaders for the team, while Saylor Brown has shown good hitting ability. She said the area in biggest need of improvement; she said the biggest strength was the team’s ability to pick each other up. The team’s serving seemed to be a strength during practice Wednesday, with many balls served that were difficult to hit. Another point of emphasis was conditioning.
