Continue ReadingThe amazing atmosphere at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln did not disappoint for sights and sounds at the Nebraska State Volleyball Tournament. Twelve semi-final games in six different classes proved to be a top ten day for volleyball enthusiasts.
The most daunting part of the day is trying to figure out which game to watch. For those not familiar with the Pinnacle Bank Arena set up, two volleyball courts placed end to end, not side by side, with a drop down divider between them run simultaneously. That means four student sections and four bands cheering on their team at one time. Many day fans sit at the divider to take it ALL in.
Some sights and sounds of the day off the court:
*Best student body dress code goes to Norris with white one set, red another, and then to blue.
*Unfortunately, many smaller schools don’t have the bodies to fill a large student section. Class C Lincoln Lutheran and Class A Gretna showed up with great interaction with their winning players post match. Note – with many state football playoffs running simultaneously, limited some normally strong student sections.
*#1 Band – Class B Waverly, loud and proud with a great selection of music.
#11 Brooke Poppert cheers her St. Paul team on to victory.
On the court, some players just stand out with an extra fist pump, smirky smile, or just plain crazy emotions. Developed in the wound, their type of competitive spirit can’t be taught. Pictures don’t do them justice, viewing it from the sidelines is quite entertaining.
The soft side of sisterly support between #11 Brooke Poppert and #15 Olivia Poppert after a St. Paul win.In the C-1 finals, keep an eye on #11 senior OH Brooke Poppert (17 kills) from St. Paul. With an extra body or fist pump after earning great points, teammates have probably learned to be ready for her strong excitement. Would be interesting to be a fly on the wall at the supper table with her and her sister #15 sophomore setter Olivia Poppert.
Junior Molly Ramsey of Norris portrays the epitome of that special competitive player. She gets it and she celebrates it all while being a great teammate and player. The libero position was made for a player like Ramsey. The 5’3” Kansas State recruit (23 digs, 2 aces, 2 kills), pitted against 6’2” Nebraska recruit Lindsey Krause of Omaha Skutt, played suffocating defense at times against the hard outside hitter. A feat that no stat can describe.
Junior libero Molly Ramsey of Norris.Games begin Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m at Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln with small school D-2 action and continue through the day with the school sizes getting larger. Class A finishes up the 2019 season at 7:00 p.m. game time. Games are also televised on NET.
