Big time varsity high school volleyball underway in Nome
By Lance Cannon

Listen up: the Lady Nanooks volleyball squad is "sick and sweet." The Nanooks hit the floor Friday, October 7 rocking out to AC/DC, intensifying the hype for opening night high school volleyball at the recreation center. Folks who were not at the recreation center Friday night to witness the Nanooks down two in best of five competition 20-25 and 16-25, missed out.
A packed gym it was. Made of seasoned veterans and a bench that holds their own, the Nanooks in any game situation can take the best high school volleyball has to offer. Even though Kotzebue quickly jumped all over Nome taking the first two games and was up early in game three, the Nanooks didn't go down quite so fast.
Coached by Matthew Butcher, Nome pulled a comeback win in overtime in game three, 29-27. After a tough loss in game three, Kotzebue gathered themselves early in game four, up 9-2 with textbook sets, digs and kills which led to a time out for Nome.
After the time out, Nome fired right back at Kotzebue with solid defense, picture perfect set-ups and kills that sent an echo through out the gym, followed by cheers from student council seating that could easily be heard outside the recreation center. Feet were stomping and the kids were ripping the place apart with cheers that pumped up the girls and caught their attention. From time to time the girls would look into the stands with "O-my- god faces," admiring the fans in student seating as well as the parents who had some old-fashioned cheering of their own. Game four, 25-23 and game five, 16-14 ended in favor of the Nanooks.
The girls prevailed Friday night and into Saturday afternoon. The Nanooks won three out of five Saturday afternoon. Game one, 25-19; game four, 25-22 and game five, 15-8. The Lady Nanooks lost two close ones in game two and three, 20-25 and 24-26.
The Nanooks travel to Bethel October 14 - 15 to take on the Warriors.

Nome JV girls volleyball teambegan their best of five series against Kotzebue, Friday October 7 at the Nome Recreation Center. Both teams fought back and forth with Nome ending on top in the first game, 25-23. The atmosphere was primed for some great volleyball action and lived up to the expectations.
All four matches were competitive and fun to watch. Lynn West and assistant coach Allie Rupprecht of Kotzebue did a fine job keeping their team focused on surpassing a hungry and talented Nome JV group, coached by Susan Rand.
Kotzebue was able to regroup after a loss in the first game and win the final three games of the evening 25-4, 25-11 and 25-12. This set up the Saturday afternoon games scheduled to begin at noon at the Recreation Center.

The Nome JV girls are looking forward to their next opponent and will be prepared to bounce back. They're relentless, fun to watch and most important, they have a lot of heart and sportsmanship. Intense support came from the student body, the varsity squad and parents in the bleachers.
