A tough week for the Kimball High Volleyball Team as they went up against three Class B schools and suffered three losses to the larger programs that leaves them now with a win-loss record of 7-8.

Coach Vicki Mitchell said, "Again it was a rough week for us. In all of the games we had moments of great play but had big lapses on serve receive. We also had individuals miss their assignments which left holes on the floor. These are fixable mistakes and we plan on working hard to fix them this week. The girls showed some great unity and community spirit by running in the Farmer's Day Fun Run this past Saturday. The top three volleyball player finishers were Jannel Fiehtner, Madison Biesecker, and Hannah Biesecker."
