WHS & MVHS SPORTS UPDATE
As submitted by coaches
WHS Volleyball.
Overall record: 4-6
League Record: 2-4
WHS vs St. Marys
The Varsity Lady Chargers lost the first match to St. Marys 8-15, 10-15. The Chargers fell to
St. Marys in the second match also, 15-5, 8-15, 8-15.
Top performers were Valerie Ebert, 18 kills, 36 digs, 2 blocks; Kayla Oney, 5 kills, 30 digs, 1
block; Kelsey Hendricks, 7 kills, 11 digs, 3 blocks, 17 assists; Kodi Ginavan 5 kills, 34 digs, 4
blocks; and Rachel Yancey 5 kills, 9 blocks.
The JV team lost their match to St. Marys 15-13, I0-15, 13-15.
The freshman team won against St. Marys 10-15, 15-7, 15-7.
"Physically we played hard, especially in the second match. However, our mental toughness
against talented teams continues to plague us. We're taking small steps in improving in this
area, and hopefully, we'll peak at the right time during the season. I'm proud of the kids for
competing and being ready to play," commented Coach Amy Schutter.
WHS Cross Country.
Jason McKinney Invitational Cross Country at WHS - Thursday, September 26
The Wabaunsee home course has a reputation as one of the toughest in the area, but several
young runners found it to their liking. Michelle Stuewe from Olpe and Andy Fenton of Jackson
Heights both set course records with their individual efforts. Michelle turned in a time of 11:55
for the girls' 2-mile course, and Andy ran the boys' 3.1-mile course in 16: 15.
Stuewe let the Olpe girls' team to victory, but Fenton couldn't get his group past the Wabaun-
see Pack. Wabaunsee scored 4, 7, 11, 14, 16 with their "kicker" at 17 for the low score and the
win at 44 points. Coach Charles Gann was well pleased with his young team (Gabe Zeller was
the only scoring senior) for grabbing six of the varsity medals available.
Coach Gann commented on the score, "That low score is the result of having a closely
matched scoring group. It's like having a balanced attack in basketball. All five scorers and the
non-scoring "kicker" were only one minute apart, but that wouldn't count for much except that
they are all top quality runners. When your "kicker" (kind of like a bench) scores a medal you
know you've done well."
Scorers were Michael Heigert, Brian Boeckman, Michael Hatfield, Gabe Zeller, and Jacob
Terrell respectively. Dustin Sievers was the medalling "kickerL Coach added "Haffield, Sievers
and Umbehr also turned in personal record times." Kelby Umbehr was the second "kicker'.
Wabaunsee girls were again well represented by Shawnee Barron and Rebecca Short, who ran
as individuals. Barron (13:26) and Short (13:42) turned in personal bests to garner 9th and 11th
place medals. Coach Gann was unsurprised. I know that is beginning to sound like a clich6, but
that means it has merit. These two girls continue to turn in solid performances and they keep
improving. They just have some really tough competition. Not that the boys don't as you can
see, but the girls have to do what they can without a team. They are really showing their heart!
Adam Wenderott led the junior varsity Chargers with Ist place. Luke Morrill was 2,Jd and Eric
Comstock was 3rd.
Wabaunsee will be in action at Centralia Lake this Saturday at 10:00 a.m. Show your heart
and spirit Chargersl Ppspl

ited to, attorneys fees, underwriter fees, and printing costs, is $65,000.

cation is projected to be 15.48 mills.
