Blue Hill Bobcat Volleyball Returns Experienced Team

The Bobcat Volleyball Team at Blue Hill High School is hoping to take it up a notch this upcoming season. With the main nucleus returning from last year's team that finished with a 14-15 record, seventh year head coach Cindy Steinkrueger is excited about the prospects of having a successful 2009 campaign. "We will finally have quite a bit of experience," Steinkrueger aid. "With the return of all six starters, we are hoping to get off to a good start. I believe we will be a hardworking team that plays a scrappy-brand of volleyball." Key returnees, all returning with starting experience are Madison Coffey (5' 10", RS, Sr.), Desi Kohmetscher (5' 7", OH, Sr.), Kristin Kohmetscher (5' 4", L, Sr.), Alyssa Willicott (5' 10", MH, Sr.), Meggie Coffey (5' 5", S, Jr.), and Alissa Overy (5' 7", MH, Jr.). Steinkrueger said (Desi) Kohmetscher, who earned second team all-conference honors in 2008, is the team's 'go-to-girl'. She led the team in kills last year with 257 and also is a dependable passer. Kohmetscher is listed among Central Nebraska Prep's Top Rated Returning Volleyball Players. Morgan Ockinga (5' 3", DS, Jr.) and Jordyn Atwater (5' 9" RS, So.) will also play key roles for the Bobcats this season after earning letters a year ago. In the Twin Valley Conference, Steinkrueger expects Silver Lake, Lawrence-Nelson, and Shelton to be the teams to beat. Reprinted from Central Nebraska Prep's Fall 2009 Edition.
