Week 1
8/31/23 - JH Huskies Volleyball Travel to Grinnell
A Team - Lost 25-16; 25-6
B Team - Lost 25-6; 25-9
The Huskies took on a very good serving Grinnell team and unfortunately, the night did not go how we hoped. The girls put in an extreme amount of fight and effort and came up short in their serve-receive efforts. The B Team Girls showed energy and understanding in their rotation working hard on their goals of getting a good pass up and a serve over. The A-Team had many great efforts to save the ball, including a rally that went back and forth over the net 8 times with two diving saves for us to win the point! The fight was there, and it will be a wonderful skill the Huskies keep expanding on! Coach Thalheim and Coach McKinney are proud of the girls and excited to see what we do with the first game under our belts!
Below are the stats for the A-team game.
Aces: Haedyn Cox 2
Kills: Kaylee Miller 2
Assists: Haedyn Cox 2

It was a close game until the very end with the score tied 20-20 in the second quarter and 34-34 in the third quarter. Griffin McKinney ran the ball hard, carrying the ball 36 times for 187 yards and 3 touchdowns. Griffin also led the defense with 7 tackles.
