2014 L/N Lady Raider Volleyball Team
Lady Raiders Up for the Challenge in 2014
The Lawrence/Nelson Lady Raiders are busily preparing for the upcoming 2014 volleyball season. The team returns 15 girls from last year, as well as 5 upcoming freshman, bringing the grand total to 20 girls. They are coached by Michelle Harrington and the assistant coaches are Ashley Porter and Derek Harrington.
Returning players are: Seniors - Carlie Mazour and Maekayla Ward; Juniors - Abby Kile, Cherokee Frahm-Thayer, Alyssa Miller, Rachel Kathman, Harlie Himmelberg, Gabe Sharp, Bailey Williams, Haley Menke, and Kelsey Menke; Sophomores - Molly McCartney, Mackinley Thayer, Delia Burger, and Kaytlynn Tockey; Freshman - Morgan Menke, Bailey Cox, Mattee Kucera, Abbie McKee, and Hayden Epley.
The girls had an open practice/scrimmage on Friday, August 22. After a few drills, they played 6 on 6, and gave the public a sneak peek of what the upcoming season will hold. “I’m excited about this season,” said Head Coach Michelle Harrington. “I think that good things could happen if everyone on the team is willing to work hard and achieve the goals that have been set by our seniors.” When asked what her goals are for the season, Coach Harrington said that going to state is always a big goal. “Winning conference and doing well against nonconference opponents are also important goals for us.”
The Raiders’ first matchup is on September 4th when they will take on the Superior Wildcats in Lawrence. Reserve volleyball starts at 6:30 PM and the varsity follows at 7:30 PM. Below is the full schedule for the year. Come cheer on the Raiders and help make the 2014 season great!
