Ozark’s Madison Satterly looks back to when she picked up volleyball for the first time and figures her parents thought she was simply going through a fad. 

Nixa’s Sydney Golden is an all-stater for the second straight season, this year as a member of the Class 5 All-State Team, as voted on by the Missouri High Schools Volleyball Coaches Association.

Who better than Nixa’s career kills leader to help develop a new crop of hitters for the Lady Eagles?

Jaycee Fixsen’s numbers at the net in Nixa’s Class 5 District 11 opening-round win Tuesday were about the same as her stats in the Lady Eagles’ District wins a year ago.

Emma Conrad can recall conversations coaches had with her as far back as grade school on where her future would be on the court. 

Kylie Wenger savored being part of her first District championship celebration Tuesday, as Clever took the Class 2 District 9 title with a 25-15, 25-14, 25-19 victory over Sparta.

For the fourth time in four matches this season, Ozark’s contest with Kickapoo somewhat appropriately featured a clean sweep. 

Morgan Bos’ surname makes her seem a bit out of place suiting up for Clever in volleyball and not for Billings in basketball.

Saying and doing something about Clever’s attempts at blocking this season have been two different things.

Madison Satterly showcased her serving extensively Saturday as Ozark finished third at its own Grand Slam Tournament.

With Ozark gaining signature wins over Willard and Kickapoo this past week, it was no surprise to Lady Tigers coach Adeana Brewer that middle blocker Hannah Tadlock triggered the triumphs.

McKenna Rhodes’ breakout senior season at Ozark has seen her go 20/20 in 2020.

It was no quick fix for Jaycee Fixsen to become a six-rotation player for Nixa. After waiting her turn a year ago, the junior outside hitter is feeling fulfilled this season while filling a function all over the floor for the Lady Eagles.
