It&#8217;s important to us to show our support to those fighting breast cancer,&#8221; varsity captain Kassidy Roe&nbsp;said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;pinked out&#8221; varsity team lost a three-set battle against the Tiger, with scores of 17-25, 19-25 and 6-25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior outsider hitter Jessica Janeczko led the team in kills with eight. Janeczko and freshman outside hitter Jayden Breaux led the team in blocks with one each. Sophomore setter Lillian Ossowski led the team in assists with 13. Freshman defensive specialist Josey Robbins led the team in digs with eight. Breaux led the team in aces with two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The JV team also suffered a loss to Junction City, with scores of 9-25, 17-25 and 14-25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe first set was rough, but we pulled through and picked things up for the last two sets. We improved on communicating, and our control got better. I\u2019m really proud, even though we didn\u2019t win,\u201d JV captain Kelsey Hemple&nbsp;said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support the volleyball teams at the next home game \u2014 and senior night \u2014 against the Cottage Grove Lions on Tuesday. The JV match will start at 5 p.m. followed by varsity at 6:45 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Falcons stick with tradition in hosting a &#8216;pink out&#8217; against JC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1333,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1332","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"czr-hentry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1332"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1375,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332\/revisions\/1375"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
