<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The following article is reprinted from the Norfolk Daily News as written by Paul Hughes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Knights finish season at 13-16; Mustangs, Patriots set to battle</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Norfolk Catholic gave Stanton a second-set scare, but the top-ranked Mustangs ultimately swept the upstart Knights 25-15, 25-23, 25-21 in the semifinals of the C2-6 subdistrict at Wisner-Pilger High School.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Mustangs will meet Clarkson/Leigh in Tuesday night's final. In their match, the Patriots dropped the first two sets and faced a match point in the third before upending Battle Creek 24-26, 14-25, 28-26, 25-18, 15-7.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Norfolk Catholic earlier earned the right to take on Stanton by defeating Madison in the evening's first match, 25-8, 25-11, 25-11.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the night's finale, Stanton scored the first three points and led 11-9 before reeling off 10 straight points that included two Liz Christensen kills, four Norfolk Catholic attack errors and a pair of Bree Burtwistle service aces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The second set was a different story. Norfolk Catholic came out swinging. Mary Fennessy served and sparked a five point run that was highlighted by an Abby Miller Block, a Carly Marshall kill and Fennessy ace to put the Knights up 11-5.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another Miller kill, an Anna Neuhalfen service ace and a pair of Stanton attack errors made the score 15-6.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But in winning 26 of their first 27 matches, the Mustangs proved they were more than capable of catching fire and overcoming deficits. A seven-point run that included two Burtwistle kills and Jaiden Hartl service cut the Norfolk Catholic lead to 16-14.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A pair of Hayden Wolf kills and trio of Stanton errors extended the Knights' advantage to 22-17 and had Norfolk Catholic within three points of tying the match. But the resilient Mustangs scored eight of the next nine points, including three more Burtwistle kills, to take the set 25-23.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"We kept fighting," Stanton coach Tracy Kuester said. "We worked our way back into it, tied it up and pushed and finished the game. They didn't focus on the score, they focused on what we can control and they started controlling that."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Mustangs jumped out to an 8-3 lead in the third set, but Norfolk Catholic would not go away. Stanton led 17-11 when the Knights went on a 4-0 run fueled by a Neuhalfen kill and Fennessy block.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But the Mustangs responded with a four-spot of their own with an Elle Locke kill and two Reba Waskowiak service aces to make it 21-15.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Mustangs led 24-19 when the Knights fended off two match points. Wolf and Miller combined for a block to make the score 24-21, but another Burtwistle kill ended the match.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Knights closed the curtain on the 2018 campaign with a recorded of 13-16. Four of the late season wins came against teams they'd lost to earlier in the year (Wayne, Pierce, O'Neill and Lutheran High Northeast) and seven of the last eight victories came against teams with winning records.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"The beginning of the season was pretty rough," Norfolk Catholic Coach Michaela Barry said. "But at the end they really were resilient and found a way to win some big games. They ended up making a lot progress throughout the year and I'm proud of them."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All eight of the Knights who saw the majority of the playing time will return in 2019, but Barry had special praise for her two seniors: Cara Leader and Emma Neuhalfen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"They didn't get a lot playing time on the court, but they were great leaders and teammates in practice and off the court," she said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tuesday's final will mark the third time this year East Husker rivals Stanton and Clarkson/Leigh will square off. The Mustangs have swept the Patriots both times.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"How we've looked at it this whole season is that we're the team that has the x on our back," Kuester said. "We're the team that other teams want to beat and we just have to know that and have to come and compete every single game, every single point."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Trojans sweep Norfolk Catholic; five sets needed in third-, fifth-place matches</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The clock struck midnight for Norfolk Catholic's Cinderella week as Hartington Cedar Catholic swept the Knights in the championship match of the Mid-State Conference volleyball tournament here 25-15, 25-21, 25-14.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Norfolk Catholic had defeated Pierce and Wayne earlier in the week to advance to the title match despite a 12-14 record.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The large, boisterous crowd was into the match early as both teams committed multiple errors while trying to calm their nerves for the long haul.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With the score even at 6, Cedar Catholic went on a 4-0 run, the result of three Norfolk Catholic errors and a floor-denting kill by Maddie Wieseler.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Trojans steadily added to their lead and closed out the first set with a pair of Abby Hochstein kills.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cedar coach Denae Buss was pleased with her team's cohesiveness and intensity. "I though we played together and aggressive. I didn't think we tipped too much, hitting a little bit more," she said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The second set proved to be the most competitive of the three. The Knights led early but couldn't get out of their own way, committing a combined 13 service and attack errors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Norfolk Catholic coach Michaela Barry said she felt her team played timidly at times. "We kind of let how good Hartington was intimidate us and how we played our game," she said. "Credit Cedar Catholic - they're a phenomenal team, but I don't think we played our game and how aggressive we wanted to."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Norfolk Catholic jumped out to a 6-2 led in the second set, but the Trojans soon pulled even as junior middle Kenlee Goeden strung together two kills and a block and Jada Cattau followed with a service ace to tie it up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Trojans took the lead for good at 9-8 and steadily built on that margin until late in the set when Norfolk Catholic pulled to within 23-21 following a Mary Fennessy kill and two Cedar attack errors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But a Norfolk Catholic hitting violation gave the Trojans a set point and Cattau took advantage with a kill.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The third set was all Trojans as they jumped out to a 7-1 lead and rode that momentum the entire way. Cattau's kill on a Norfolk Catholic overpass brought the tournament to an end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Hartington is a very good volleyball team. I mean they're fun to watch," Barry said. "They play well together, they click together, but I'm proud of our girls for where they've gotten."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Buss was asked to compare the Norfolk Catholic team her squad had defeated earlier in the season and the one that played for the conference title.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"They're night and day," she said. "Coach Barry has really gotten them going; they believe they can do it and they're pretty tough."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Both teams now turn their attention to subdistrict tournaments that start Monday. Norfolk Catholic has drawn 6-21 Madison in a 4:30 opening round match of C2-6 at Wisner-Pilger. The winner will then turn around to take on 26-1 Stanton in the semifinals at 7:30.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Barry said her team will focus these next few days on recovering.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Three volleyball games this last week, it's been a lot for the girls," she said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Just focusing on recovering and getting ready to play some of our best volleyball hopefully and at this point you've got to give it all you've got because if you don't, you're done."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, Cedar Catholic is the top seed of the C2-7 subdistrict at Wayne. The Trojans will square off with either 12-19 Homer or 9-19 Winnebago in the semifinals on Monday at 7.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Buss said playing a team like Norfolk Catholic will help her team prepare for postseason play. "They've been playing so well that you have to mentally prepare; you can't just take a night off. It really helps when you play a good team," she said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Earlier in the evening, O'Neill earned fifth place with a 25-22, 15-25, 25-19, 23-25, 15-11 victory over Pierce and Wayne garnered third by defeating Battle Creek 25-20, 25-23, 20-25, 18-25, 15-13.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Norfolk Catholic upsets top-seeded Wayne; Hartington CC awaits after sweep over BC</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After going 7-22 last year and dropping their first seven matches this year, few predicted that the Norfolk Catholic Knights would play for a conference tournament championship later in the year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But that's exactly what the Knights will do Thursday night following Tuesday's 29-31, 25-22, 25-27, 25-23 victory over Wayne in the semifinals of the Mid-State Conference Tournament here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first set was not for the faint of heart as the frame saw 12 ties and five lead changes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wayne took an early 8-4 lead after scoring five straight points in a string that included three Ashton Boyer kills-she had six for the set.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wayne led 19-15 when Norfolk Catholic began a five-point rally that started with a pair of Bud Devil attack errors. An Anna Neuhalfen service ace followed by a solo block and kill put the Knights in front by one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The teams traded points after that. As the set extended beyond the customary 25-point standard, Wayne fought off four match points and Norfolk Catholic two.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Following a Knight attack error, Wayne led 30-29 when Frankie Klausen's kill ended the set and gave the Blue Devils the 1-0 advantage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"That whole first game was a battle," Wayne coach Traci Krusemark said. "We knew this was going to be a tough game because Norfolk Catholic is just playing well the last few weeks obviously. They're a way different team than when we played them early in the year."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Could the Knights regroup after the emotional first set loss? Coach Michaela Barry had no doubt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Our girls just kept battling back, they kept believing in each other. We talked about never giving up and not letting the balls die without a body going for it," she said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Abby Miller paced the Knights in the second set with six kills and a block. Wayne's Boyer tied it at 21 with a kill, but Norfolk Catholic's Mary Fennessy answered with a block and a kill. That was followed with a Blue Devil attack error to make it 24-21. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A Knights service error cut the lead to two, but Fennessy finished it off with a kill to tie the match.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"After that set, they saw that they can play with them and that they should have won that first set, probably, in their eyes," Barry said. "So they had a little fire in 'em those last three sets."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Norfolk Catholic rode the momentum it gained in the second set into the third. The Knights opened with a 15-7 lead and never looked back. Hayden Wolf's kill on set point gave Norfolk Catholic a 2-1 lead in the match.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Knights led 22-14 in the fourth set when Lauren Pick delivered three straight kills for Wayne to make it interesting. An Emily Armstrong service ace made the score 22-19.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But two Wayne errors provided Norfolk Catholic with a match point and Miller sealed the victory with a kill.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"We just gave them way too many long runs and they started gaining momentum and that's what the game of volleyball is all about," a disappointed Krusemark said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the other semifinal Hartington Cedar Catholic erased a 20-11 deficit in the first set on the way to a 25-23, 25-13, 25-15 victory over Battle Creek.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wayne returns to Pierce on Thursday at 6 p.m. to take on Battle Creek for third place. Krusemark said her Blue Devils will be ready. "We just have to bring energy. Energy eliminates errors and makes the game go a lot smoother and we just turn it off and on and we have to make sure it's turned on," she said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Norfolk Catholic and Hartington Cedar Catholic will then tangle for the conference tournament championship at 7:30.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Knights' victory over Wayne marked the third time this season they've avenged an earlier defeat. They'll get another chance Thursday against Cedar. The Trojans defeated Norfolk Catholic in straight sets on Sept. 11.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Barry called the season a process.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"You're climbing up the mountain and you have to be willing to fight every step of that way," she said.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">No. 8 Norfolk catholic continued to accelerate down the home-stretch of the 2018 season with a convincing straight-sets victory Monday over No. 7 Pierce 25-23, 25-23, 28-18 in the quarter-finals of the Mid-State Conference tournament here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The contest was what one would expect from a four versus five seed matchup with long rallies, neither team giving an inch and both teams playing well enough to win.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Knights opened the year with seven straight losses including two to Pierce. Since then, they're 11-7 with victories over Lutheran High Northeast, Battle Creek, O'Neill and now Pierce.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"The girls are more comfortable in what we're trying to do," Norfolk Catholic coach Michaela Barry said. "They come to practice and work hard and I think just getting more ball touches has really helped them."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first two sets were roller-coaster affairs as one team would secure the momentum and just as quickly surrender it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pierce used its serve to keep Norfolk Catholic out of system and generated offense from Knight free balls.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"That's something we've been talking about throughout the course of the season," Barry said. "If we don't get that ball, we've got to move on and get the next one. It's always got to be next-ball mentality and 'What I can do to batter that ball?'"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With the Lady Jays leading 15-12, the Knights' Anna Neuhalfen recorded three straight kills: the first from the back row, the second off the block and the third via a tip.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pierce's Maggie Brahmer answered with a kill and service ace to give the Lady Jays a lead that eventually stretched to 20-15.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After a Katrina Meier kill, Pierce led 23-20, but Norfolk Catholic scored the next five points that included a Carly Marshall kill and service ace and a solo block and kill from Mary Fennessy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"Mary Fennessy is awesome," a proud Barry said. "She's come a long way with her hitting and timing."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pierce led the second set 21-19 when the Knights' Hayden Wolf scored three of the next four points with kills to give Norfolk Catholic a 23-21 lead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pierce's Rhayna Waldner faked setting the ball and found an open spot in the Knight defense to make it 23-22, but a Pierce attach error gave Norfolk Catholic a set point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Lady Jays responded with a Waldner kill from the back row, but Fennessy's kill off the block gave Norfolk Catholic the second set victory.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"You have to hand it to Norfolk Catholic, they came out ready to play," Pierce coach Brittany Weber said. "Their offense was too much for our defense to handle."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Barry praised her squad's crunch-time resiliency. "They could've easily just thrown in the towel and at the beginning of the year; they probably would have," she said. "But they've overcome that and have shown real toughness."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Norfolk Catholic led the third set 14-13 when the Knights went on a 7-0 run that included a pair of Abby Miller blocks, two Miller kills and a Neuhalfen service ace.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Brahmer gave Pierce hope with a kill and service ace as the Lady Jays scored the next four points to make the score 21-17.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But after Norfolk Catholic called timeout, the Knights scored four of the next five points and ended the evening with a Neuhalfen kill.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"Offensively, we got into a tip game with them," Weber said. "That is not our offense. Our offense is to hit the ball, so when we started tipping we were constantly the team on defense."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Norfolk Catholic moves into the Tuesday night's 6 p.m. semi-final at Pierce against top-seeded Wayne. The Lady Jays battle West Point Guardian Angels Central Catholic in a consolation semifinal matchup at Norfolk Catholic, also at 6 p.m.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"We talked to the girls about sticking together," Weber said. "If everybody fixes their own mistakes, as a team we'll come together and have a new team tomorrow."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cara is on the school newspaper staff again this year. She wrote this article for the newspaper about County Government Day that the senior class attended. Cara found the day to be interesting. It was an eye opening experience for her to tour the County Jail and the Juvenile Detention Center.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With the election tomorrow, Cara will be voting for the first time. Since turning 18 in August, she registered online to vote. Cara's government class was asked to help volunteer at the school's polling place if they were 18 years old. Cara will be one of those volunteers during her free period.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Take Care,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was smiles all around when a few weeks ago Allyson, Cara's best friend, came home from college on a surprise visit.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Allyson goes to college at Kansas State and came home as a surprise for the weekend. I received a text that afternoon that she was on her way and not to tell Cara about the surprise. It may have been the hardest for Erica not to tell.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Allyson is one of Cara's best friends and she is also one of Erica's best friends and big sister. Allyson has given Erica so many rides to and from volleyball practice last year and to and from work this last summer. She is like another daughter at our house. She will come in and eat supper with us. Allyson is one of the nicest teens I know. Plus, I owe her a college care package.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 8th Grade performed "Sing a Mighty Song!", "For Good" (From Wicked), and "Riversong A Celtic Celebration". They will be attending a choral clinic in a couple weeks where they will perform these songs again. Therefore, this was a practice for the clinic.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After finishing Cara's college visit at USD, we headed back home to make it to part of Ashlin's end of season volleyball tournament at Norfolk Public.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 7th Grade girls also finished 2nd in the tournament, so, two trophies were added to the trophy cases at Norfolk Catholic. It was a great season for the junior high girls. I see potential in their future.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This marks the end of junior high volleyball for this Leader household. After six continuous years of having a junior high volleyball player, we say goodbye. Ashlin is ready to move up to high school ball. I do wonder what position is in her future. This year she played both setter and hitter. Go Lady Knights!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">College visit #2 was to the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We left early on a Saturday morning because registration for the day was at 8:30. Cara checked in with her admissions representative and then was met by the coyote mascot. I couldn't let this photo opportunity pass. I asked the coyote if I could take his photo with my daughter and got a head nod. Then we ate breakfast and looked over the itinerary for the day. There were a couple other students from Norfolk Catholic visiting that day also.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up was our welcome and first session at the Andrew E. Lee Memorial Medicine and Science Building. There was a welcome by an admissions representative and then one of the Deans of Science talked about the various science majors available to students. Cara and Emma are both looking into science majors, so, our itineraries were similar.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the session, Cara checked out the tables by major in the lobby. Cara talked to a professor about Social Work, a student about Addiction and Prevention and a professor regarding Medical Lab. Cara is still deciding on a major, but these are leading the pack. The Social Work professor invited Cara to come on a Tuesday or Thursday and sit in on some classes. Addiction and Prevention in drugs/alcohol is offered as a major at USD. Very few colleges offer this as a major and this area of study is growing rapidly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then we were off to tour the dorms. First, we toured a dorm that most freshmen live in and then we toured an apartment style dorm for upper classmen. Students are required to live on campus for the first two years at USD.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After touring the dorms, we checked out tables set up for activities and organizations on campus such as: sororities, honor classes, international travel, etc. Then we had lunch and discussed our day.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cara has applied to USD, but has not heard back if she has been accepted yet. She has some big decisions to make in the next few months, such as, what to major in and where to attend college. Which college is the best fit?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 8th Grade girls have had a very good volleyball season. A measuring stick for the girls is how they play against Scotus. The volleyball program at Scotus is one of the best in the state. There program is consistently good year after year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 8th Grade boys would show up at volleyball games after football practice to cheer on the girls. This sign starting showing up at games about halfway through the season and was held up high if the girls had a block. These boys were known for cheering loud and disturbing the opposing team.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Back to the Scotus game -- This year the game was held at Norfolk Catholic in Burns Gym. Scotus has so many girls out for volleyball that they field a new team of 12-14 girls for each game. We played 7B, 7A, 8B and 8A games.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This game marked my last official game as bookkeeper for the junior high volleyball girls after keeping book for six years. Cara volunteered me for this position when she was a 7th grader and I have done it each year since because we always had a junior high player. But, this is the end of junior high for Ashlin. Although, I found out that Cara has volunteered me to move up and help keep book for the high school freshmen next year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cara had her senior photos taken in August. There are so many good photos to choose from. Cara chose to have one of the neighborhood kids, Keaton Eisenmenger do her photos. Keaton was home on break from The Young Americans and took Cara's photos. Keaton started KE Photography as a way to work his way through college, but also a way to explore his hobby. These are just three photos of about 200 that Keaton took.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The workshop was on Sunday afternoon from 2-6, Monday from 8-5:30 and Tuesday from 3:30-5:30. Then on Tuesday night they put on a performance from 7-9. The first hour of the show is performed by The Young Americans group and during the second hour of the show the students perform the show. It is a high energy and fast paced show. The theme of the show was Broadway. Grandpa and Grandma Leader, Grandma Korth, Keith, Erica, Ashlin and I enjoyed the show! Cara missed the show due to a volleyball game out of town and she really wanted to see the show. But, the bus pulled in shortly after the performance and Justin, Ashlin and I high-fived the girls as they got off the bus after bringing home two "W's"! It was smiles all around!!!</span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">College visit #1 took place on Friday when Cara and Keith went to Wayne State College for a Friday Focus Senior Day. They toured the campus, ate lunch, talked to a science professor, toured the science labs, etc.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKMgevzTW8TNLwNbczxu809D1vKvEGfWcVCo1GBygkfqEW_3Ts2x8tV0OzQfK8Lc_Rf1Agx9UA3rSDsa8KbKmIL9JpWOAuNSYrZ2iAcl_zo_pEbzsPoeO3VjQyLCgyLEV4CbD80tpqhpxH/s1600/college+visit+%25231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKMgevzTW8TNLwNbczxu809D1vKvEGfWcVCo1GBygkfqEW_3Ts2x8tV0OzQfK8Lc_Rf1Agx9UA3rSDsa8KbKmIL9JpWOAuNSYrZ2iAcl_zo_pEbzsPoeO3VjQyLCgyLEV4CbD80tpqhpxH/s320/college+visit+%25231.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Cara thinks that she wants to become a Lab Technician and work at a hospital performing tests. Last spring she job shadowed in three areas at our hospital and the lab is what she liked the best. At that time, the hospital had two college interns and they spoke to Cara about what classes she needed to take and how they enjoyed the work.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> Cara was impressed by how new the science labs were at Wayne State. She ran into some students that she knew. Cara liked that she got to sit down one-on-one with a science professor and talk about her major and ask questions about the program. She would go to Wayne State for three years and then transfer to UNMC for course work and then an internship for the last year. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> Keith and Cara were both impressed with the campus. Wayne State is going growing and is making improvements continuously. This summer they put a new fire alarm system in one of the dorms, put in a new press box for the football field and are constructing a new applied technology building. Keith was not impressed that not all the dorms have air conditioning. But, they both felt that Cara could attend Wayne State College.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> Next month, we will have college visit #2. Cara is attending a college fair this week at Northeast to gather more information. This last week I attended a financial aid meeting for seniors and there parents. There is quite a bit to do!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the second set, the girls played Laurel/Concord/Coleridge. The girls split sets with them, but ended up winning on points allowed which put them in the championship game against Cedar Catholic.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The high school girls had two home games this last week. They played Lutheran High on Tuesday and Wahoo High on Thursday. They should have beat Lutheran High, but lost 1-3. Wahoo High is the defending Class C1 state champion and had three Division I recruits on the floor. It was a rough night as the girls fell in straight sets. They may not be winning, but they don't give up fighting! Our girls play one of the hardest schedules in the state and this week it doesn't get any easier.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is this week's locker sign. I gave Cara a choice between two signs and she chose this one because Coach Barry is really stressing "team". The senior and junior girls on the team are really trying to promote team, so, after a few games the girls have gone to McDonald's to talk and be together. The older girls make sure all the girls have rides so that the younger girls can attend also.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span>

It honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, laws, and well-being of the country. It is the Monday of the long weekend known as Labor Day Weekend. It is recognized as a federal holiday."</span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">According to the Leader children it is the day that you celebrate how long your mother went through labor to bring you into the world. I'm not quite sure where they got this from, but it sure gave them a laugh. They also thought it was a great reason to get a day off from school.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My work has six season tickets for the Nebraska football games and I can request to use them.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The girls had their first game last night against Pierce. The freshman and JV squads both won in straight sets. The varsity fell 1-3. They may have lost, but they fought so hard and never gave up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Norfolk Daily News publishes a special sports edition to the regular paper at the start of every sports season. Look who made the sports edition for being one of two seniors on the Norfolk Catholic volleyball team. Actually, Cara couldn't believe that this was the photo that the newspaper chose to run. I thought it was a good photo of Cara and Emma.</span><br />

I hear this phrase so often. Well, tonight is a family favorite - meat loaf. Yes, our family likes meat loaf and usually there is nothing leftover. Following is the recipe that I use:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2 lbs. ground beef</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1/2 cup onion (finely chopped)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 1/2 teas salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1/4 teas pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 teas dry mustard</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2 eggs beaten</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 teas Worcestershire sauce</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4 slices soft bread (cubed)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2/3 cup warm milk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1/2 cup boiling water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Combine meat with onion, seasonings, mustard, eggs and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Soak break cubes in warm milk, stir to blend well. Add to meat mixture and mix well. Form into loaf. Place into greased shallow baking pan, 7x11. Pour boiling water around loaf. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry no photo because it is in the oven baking. But, it sure does smell good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tonight the Senior and Junior Volleyball Moms met to make posters for the locker room.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This sign hangs inside the locker room door for the girls to see every time they leave. "If volleyball was easy they'd call it football".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This sign hangs outside the locker room, "Under Construction Building Champions". The silver background paper makes it hard to see, but there is a hardhat with each player's name on it and hardhats for the coaches and trainer also.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First game of the season is Thursday night. Hope we come home with a "W"!</span><br />
