Coach Lowry’s Comments –
The Northern Valley Junior High hosted the Golden Plains Bulldogs for their last game of 2025. The Lady Huskies had a slow start ending the first quarter 2-4 but the girls did not settle. They picked up their hustle, communicated more on defense, and moved the ball better on offense. The girls had 44 shot attempts and only 7 turnovers pulling away from the Lady Bulldogs. The 26-19 win puts their record 4-2 going into the Christmas break. Annika McKinney led the team with 10 points and 9 rebounds followed by Cambrie Sproul and Avreigh McCue with 6 points each.
Assistant Coach McKinney’s Comments -
The NV B-team girls one quarter. Feeding the ball inside and rebounds were the strong points for the girls. It was exciting to see them play in an overtime situation. We will continue to focus on ball sense and stronger hands when we get back from break. Three girls contributed to the scoring including Tayah Seeders, Amora Simoneau, and Joplyn McCue with 2 points each.

These 3 soaring sopranos (Kylee Ledbetter, Kaylee Miller, and Jennifer Shaffer) endured live auditions to secure a spot in the High School Northwest District Honor Choir. They performed with 140 other singers on December 6th in Beach/Schmidt Performing Arts Center at FHSU. They closed out their concert with a beautiful rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" combined with the District Honor Band.

Coach Lowry’s Comments –
The Northern Valley Junior High girls traveled to Agra, KS to compete against the Thunder Ridge Lady Longhorns. The Lady Huskies played a great game defensively, had good passes, and never gave up. The girls’ ball reversals led to numerous shot opportunities and their help defense has improved a lot. This was the first game of the season the girls played very well together as a team. Avreigh McCue led the team with 8 points followed by Inez Ryelyn Cox and Inez Schemper with 7 points each.
Assistant Coach McKinney’s Comments -
The NV B-team girls played three quarters and made great improvements on their ball movement which created openings that they recognized. Their effort was tremendous! Ryelyn Cox led the team with 3 points with help from three other teammates, two of which scored for the first time this season. Tayah Seeders led the team in rebounds with six.

Coach Lowry’s Comments –
The Northern Valley Junior High opened their 2025/26 basketball season in Grinnell against the Thunderhawks on November 20. The A-team girls started the game a little nervous and out of sync with each other. With every quarter, the girls worked to play as a team and controlled the pace while finding multiple opportunities to drive to the basket. Our free throw percentage was low, however the girls worked hard to get rebounds and steals ending the game 24-18. Annika McKinney led the team with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 steals followed by Inez Schemper and Ryelyn Cox with 6 points each.
The B-team girls played two quarters, starting off the game timid and struggled to find rhythm. However, the effort they put in shows great promise for future games. Tayah Seeders led the team with three points.

Happy Thanksgiving Huskies!! We hope you look at everything in our world with a little more appreciation this week! We hope this short school week leads up to great food and time with Family! Have a wonderful week!
Hey guys!! I am so sorry this is so late!!! Here are the summaries for our last 5 games in the JH VB Season.
10.16.25 JH VB @ Western Plains
The Lady Huskies traveled to Ransom to take on the Bobcats and for the second long road trip of the year to not break down in the bus was a blessing!! The girls fought hard they just got a little held up by mistakes that then caused more mistakes. We got a little too much in our heads and bouncing back will have to be a goal going into the league tournament next week. The Western Plains Bobcats did a great job hitting at the Huskies and the girls got so many digs and touches on some fast paced balls it was exciting to see this defensive effort!

10.23.25 JH WKLL VB Tourney - A team Only
Game 1 vs. Logan/Palco
The Lady Huskies came out swinging at the WKLL tournament! They fought hard to defeat Logan/Palco in the first 2 sets of the day. They did a great job passing and we had several girls reach their highest passing percentages. They Lady Huskies ran their 6-2 with Grace and did a great job recovering from mistakes. They even held off the Logan/Palco Trojans in their last set of the game to win it 30-28. They never once gave up!! They never let a set back hold them back and they fought for every point! With their control on serving, setting up the ball and execution in the 6-2 was some of the best volleyball we have played the entire year. It was so good to see the girls play their best volleyball on the last day we could! It was a great start to the day!

Game 2 vs. Weskan
Weskan had quite the volleyball team! Their efforts were just a little too much for the NV Huskies at the League Tournament but the Huskies did a great job going for every ball and fighting for every single point. We weren't able to pass as well as the first game of the day but did a great job attacking at the net.

Game 3 vs. Heartland Christian
The Huskies came back after lunch and fought hard to beat Heartland Christian in 3 sets. The girls did a great job serving in the new Gym in Logan and did a much better job passing!!! It was fun to watch them set up the ball as much as they did and have success. This was some amazing volleyball to watch. They had a groove and were able to create some flow on offense. Inez Schemper served the ball 21 times in a row in the last set and didn't miss a single one it was amazing to watch!

Game 4 vs. Grinnell/Wheatland
The last game didn't go how the Huskies would have liked but the girls did a great job again in their 6-2 the day just proved t0 be a little too long. The lady Huskies had too many service errors and a little less accuracy on passing so out scoring the Thunderhawks was just a little out of reach.

The A Team ladies finished the year 6-6 the B team Ladies finished 3-5.
As a Coaching Staff we were extremely proud of this small group of girls!! The A team was able to successfully run a 6-2 and we haven't done that in 4 years. They developed a great understanding for the game and were some extremely brave young women. Their belief and work ethic will carry them straight into competing at the high school level!!
