The 7th grade volleyball team hosted Ida last night for their first home game of the season.  Leading servers for the Wildcats were Taylor Dixon with 8 service points and Leela VanBrunt with 6 service points. The wildcats will face Madison for their second home game of the season this Wednesday. Go cats!

The 8th grade Volleyball team had their first home match of the season on Monday against a tough Ida squad. Both teams went back & forth throughout set one.  Set two was more challenging & the Bluestreaks took it. In the final set Onsted got behind & bounced back more than once, however Ida took advantage early on, and the Cats dropped set three taking a match loss.
Top servers on the night were Sofia Teske & Karis Brogan. Others scoring were Fiona Anderson, Vanessa Oliver, Lilly Pliska, Maci Lover, Trinadee Escott, & Sophie King.
The next match will be at home on Wednesday against Madison. Go Cats!

🎉 Happy Birthday! 🎂
