High 74° Weather Warriors defeat No. 2 rated Roosevelt in three sets Volleyball team takes care of Rough Riders FOLLOW US, WARRIORS! Warrior Nation Events @whsPAC All WHS News @nowatwhs By Lexus Paulson and Rachel Konrad A three set sweep is not the easiest thing to do in volleyball—especially against Roosevelt, the No. 2 rated AA volleyball team in the state right now. However, the Warrior vol- leyball team, rated No. 4 in the most recent poll, did just that Thursday night at WHS, winning 25-21, 25-20, 25-23. It was not an easy win, however. The Warriors never led by more than five points throughout all three matches. Senior Rochelle Ramharter led the Warriors in digs with 11 and in kills with 14, includ- ing the game winning spike. Juniors Mearah Miedema and Maddie Wiley led the team in blocks and assists with 3 and 30, respectively. Sharing the lead in ace serves were Ramharter and junior Jamie Kayl with 2. Ramharter said she was extremely proud of her team. “Last night we knew what we had to get done, and we went out there and did our job,” Ramharter said. “Tomorrow we have a tourna- ment at Sioux Falls Christian and we are excited to see some smaller schools we have never seen before, and see some new competition.” In sub-varsity action the JV, sophomore and Freshman B all lost in two sets. The Freshman A won in two sets. Photo by Zach DeVries SERVE IT UP—Junior Jamie Kayl serves in Thursday’s game with Roosevelt. By Addison Sannes The varsity girls tennis team fell to the Lincoln Patriots 6-3 in Metro Conference action Thursday at WHS. Eighth grader Libby Nachtigal at No. 2 and senior Alyssa Schmidt at No. 5 were the only Warriors to win singles matches. Nachtigal lost the tie break 6-7, but won with final scores of 6-2 and 6-3. Schmidt took the win for the Warriors 6-1, 6-1. In doubles action, senior Mical Johnson and Nachtigal teamed up to take a win for the Warriors 6-0, 7-5. The Warriors will continue a series with conference and city foes today as they play cross-town rival Roosevelt at 4 p.m. Varsity and JV action will be played on the courts at Roosevelt. JV-B games will be played on the WHS courts. Girls tennis team falls to Lincoln 6-3 By Carson Herbert The boys varsity soccer team defeat- ed Watertown 6-1 Thursday night at Yankton Trail Park. Scoring goals for the boys were seniors Kyle Haight, Jordan Bloker and Bailey Uthe; and juniors Austin Miller and Justin Carlson. Carlson scored two for the Warriors. Sophomore Nic Gregg said he thought the team played well in the win. “I think the chang- es that we made will help us as the season goes on,” Gregg said. The varsity girls fell to the Arrows in a heartbreaker on a last second goal by Watertown 1-0. Both JV teams shut out the Arrows, both winning 2-0. Next up for the Warrior teams will be city rival Lincoln Tuesday at Yankton Trail Park. Boys take soccer win from Watertown
