get those out against a non-conference
opponent.”
Upton got off to a quick start in the
first set jumping out to a 9-2 lead before
Anderson’s team rallied to get themselves
back into it. However, the Lady Bobcats
ended the contest with the momentum
and took a one set lead defeating the Lady
Dogies 25-18.
Round two of the match saw a much
closer contest with the teams trading
the lead and battling to obtain the upper
hand. This set came right down to the
wire, ending with Upton squeaking out a
victory.
“In the second set, we gave up
16 points alone in missed serves and
missed hits and we lost that set by two,”
Anderson frowned. “We just had too
many unforced errors, and when you’re
giving them free points over and over,
they’re going to win.”
The third set was do or die for the Lady
Dogies, and though once again, the two
squads battled, Upton finished the set and
match with a victory.
Despite their opening contest not
turning out as Anderson had hoped, there
were some definite positives for the team
to take away. First, according to the coach,
the back row performed quite well with
passers communicating and moving well.
And while serving and hitting perfor-
mances were not what she expected, she
stressed that those are two areas of the
game the squad could fix.
Anderson also recognized some players
as having a particularly good night on the
court.
“Having 6-foot, l-inch sophomore
Tiernan Stanton at the net is a welcome
addition. She’s a beast and it’s really fun,
because we put her and Jaylen [Ostenson]
against each other in practice and it’s just
healthy competition,” Anderson smiled.
“For one so young, Tieman also sees the
court extremely well, she finds the holes
in coverage and is adept at placing the ball
right where it needs to go.”
Ostenson had a good night at the
serving line, knocking down three aces
in a row in the second set, while senior
Caitlyn Pehringer looked very strong on
the right side of the not.
“I told Caitlyn that she’s our secret
weapon because most people don’t hit
like that from the right side,” Anderson
nodded. “She is also a strong blocker
and we need that against the other team’s
outside hitter, and being powerful on

In the back row, Anderson was pleased
with the performances of LaKacee Lipp
and Alaina Steveson.

but if everything worked out
a little differently, we would
maybe have come out with a
different outcome. We were
able to move the ball, so now
.we just need to finish.”
The teams traded blow for
blow but held each other out
of the endzone until the Bison
were able to break the Dogie
defensive line and punch one
in to take a 7-0 lead into the
locker room at the half.
A one touchdown deficit
was the least of Conzelman’s
worries at the mid-game break,
however as in two quarters of
play, he had lost his starting
quarterback (Slade Roberson)
and his backup quarterback
(Quint Perino) to injuries that
would sideline them for the
rest of the contest.
“The injury bug hit us
hard. I knew we were going
to face adversity but I didn’t
know it would be like this,”
Conzelman sighed. “It’s the
first time this has happened
since I’Ve been here, but we
burned through our quarter-
backs 'pretty quickly”.
“Slade was looking so
smooth. He was on a 60 yard
scramble when he out along the
sideline and his knee went out
from under him,” Conzelman
continued. “So we put Quint
in, but right before half time,
he made a tackle on the side-
line and hurt his shoulder so
we limped into half with just
two backs in the backfield.”
Some quick scrambling
by the coaches and a leap of
faith coupled with a gutsy
decision by senior running
back Chauncey Jenerou, had
him under center to begin the
second half. Despite having
no experience in the position
and having taken no snaps as
QB, Jenerou stepped up and
marched his team down the
field in their first drive of the
third quarter to punch one in
and tie the game at sevens.
“It was exciting to see
Chauncey step up and take
on a position which he never
expected to be filling,”
Conzelman beamed. “He
hasn’t run any snaps ever,
and though he struggles a
little with passing, as to be
expected, he did end up one
for one on the night.”
The touchdown was a
plethora of firsts for all of the
key players involved. Senior
Kale Corley has spent his
high school career on the line
offensively and defensively,
however this year he is trying
his hand at fullback and appar-
ently, he is skilled as a ball
carrier as well. It was Corley
who dragged a herd of Bison
into the endzone for his first
Dogie football touchdown.
“Kale played center last
year, but I decided to see
what he could do with the
ball in his hands this year,”
Conzelman smiled. “Turns out
it was a good decision because
he got some carries and then
scored on a ten-yard scamper.
It was awesomel”
The final first on the play
was also an historical moment
for Dogie football as semiarid:
Emily Beastrom stepped up’to‘
boot the PAT straight through
the uprights to score her first
points as a football player.
The contest remained tied
until late in the fourth quarter
when the Dogies made a
mistake that gifted the Bison
the go-ahead score. ‘
“We snapped the ball over
Chauncey’s head into the
endzone and they didn’t let
— Pate Tavegz'e that opportunity go to waste,”

Conzelman nodded. “They
jumped on it for an easy six
points and then missed the
extra point but that was all it
took.”
The Dogies marched the
ball about to midfield, but then
couldn’t convert a fourth down
so Hot Springs got the ball
back, ran three plays and knelt
on it to end the game.
As the Dogies look to take
on their second Bison team in
two weeks, they have some
adjusting to do before heading
to Buffalo this Friday. In addi-
tion to Roberson and Perino,
linemen Killian Gonnan and
Kayne Hinshaw got banged
up as well and the team won’t
know the status of any players
until mid-week.
' With that in mind,
Conzelman is getting Jenerou
and Tate Engle some reps in
the quarterback position along
with Perino in the event he gets
the green light to get back in
action. .

the return of both!
So when students came back to my
beloved building on Wednesday, I was in
a weird place. And as the first contests
of the year took place on Friday, I had a
physical reaction.
My body released a rush of endorphins
as the Lady Dogie volleyball team ran
out on the court and the official blew the
whistle for the first serve.
I literally felt tears well up a little.
It may sound like I’m a little obsessed,
especially when I don’t really have a
horse in the race (my own children are no‘
longer in high school), but these kids that
play volleyball, football, those that swim
and those that run cross country are my
students and I know how very much each
of them were hoping that they would get
to be exactly where they were on Friday
in their Dogie uniform, competing in the
sport they love.
Now my fingers are crossed that these
kids will get to see their seasons come to
fruition and that they will be able to finish
their season competing in their regional
and state events.
I know that there are those who
believe very strongly that being asked to
wear a mask is a violation of their rights,
however I know that I am willing to do
whatever I have to do to keep them on
the court.
For that matter, I am willing to do
whatever I have to in order to keep the
kids in school, period. F ace-to-face edu-
cation is far superior to online education,
no matter the age of the student, and if we
want the winter and spring sports to have
a fighting chance of being able to take
place, we have to stay in school.
The Dogies had a great start to their
seasons and God willing and the creek
don’t rise, they will finish their seasons
successfully as well.
