N-O Wants To Take A Step Forward In 2018

Class: C2

Coach: Hannah Hoefer

2017 record: 10-19

2017 playoffs: N/A

Returning letter winners: Kristen Snodgrass Sr., Haley Kerkman Sr., Amanda Dietz Jr., Shelby Pitzer Jr., Trinity Kurpgeweit So., Paige Furstenau So.

Players to watch: Brooke Frey, Aubrie Klabenes, Claire Whitesel

2018 outlook: “I feel we have the defense to hang with a lot of teams this season and I feel our offense will continue to grow and get stronger throughout the season to really help us challenge other teams. If we continue to grow and learn every practice and every game we will be sitting real nice come NVC and district time.” Coach Hannah Hoefer

Our take: With quality competition in the immediate area it will be survival of the fittest on the hardwood this volleyball year. At times last season, the Lady Warriors showed they can hang with the best of the best. If N-O can become more consistent, the 2018 campaign could be a memorable season.
