The EHS Falcons competed in an enjoyable volleyball season with many ups and downs and finished with a 0-12 league record and an overall record of 2-18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team was coached by Tessa Slager and helped by team managers seniors Arina Rose and Josiah Hartzel and junior Jadyn Oilar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team consisted of seniors Lillian Ossowski, Kara Catmull, Dayshah Conklin and Kelsey Hemple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The junior players were Morgan Hansen, Katie Kilcullen, Cailey Eden, Adalyne Henson, Hannah Humphrey, Josey Robbins, and Jayden Breaux.<\/p>\n\n\n

Other players included sophomore Caydence Farrar and ninth-grader Natalia Shoemaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the record, Slager says the season was a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We did some really\u00a0good things,” Slager told Falcon News. “When you have a tough league like we do, the win\/loss record doesn’t adequately reflect the season we had.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year the team had to move key players around and put them in different positions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They performed really well despite learning a whole new offense,” Slager said.\u00a0“I only had 3 returners, so having to train and coach an entire new team, and still be as successful as we were was really awesome.”<\/p>\n\n\n

When coaching high school players, it can be a struggle to be competitive and maintain positive morale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There were times when being more competitive\u00a0was the key to success, and there were times when I was impressed with how well our bench players did,” the head coach said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team finished with some impressive stats for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Falcons had a total of 234 assists and were led by Ossowski with 164.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team finished with 234 kills and were led by Breaux with 96.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They had 93 aces and Ossowski led the team with 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
