In the Saturday matchup
against the Lady Bison, who are
leading the Northeast Quadrant,
the senior players will be
honored in their last contest in
the Dome.
"We played them very early
in the season as our first match
of the year and took the match
to five sets. We will be focusing
on their middles as they are very
aggressive hitters, and we will
be serving aggressively to stop
their middles from running, and
to force the ball to be set to other
players," Jechorek strategized.
According to the coach, the
squad will also look to play a bit
quicker in their offense in order
to avoid the Bison's tall block
or, at the very least, to cause
their opponent to be unbalanced
in their block.
The junior varsity team will
start the action on Saturday in
the Dome at 2:00 p.m. followed
by the varsity match. The senior
night ceremony will take place
prior to the varsity warm-up.

through these emotions right now. The other cross country senior
parents are feeling the same thing, as well as the parents of the
swimmers, and the football and volleyball seniors.
This Friday, the football boys will be honored, and on Saturday
it's the volleyball girls' turn.
I know that several of those parents are in the same boat as I am,
with a child in a Dogie uniform that will be the last one to leave
their nest. Not that it's easy to let any child go, but when it's the last
I think it becomes even a little more difficult.
After six-plus years of following our kids as they competed in
their various sporting activities, I'm not sure we will know what to
do with ourselves next year. For me at least, it's the thought of not
seeing them in their uniforms on that course, or that floor, or that
field or that track that gets me a little misty-eyed.
So not only was this the end of an era for Newcastle Cross
Country, it is also the beginning of the end of an era for me and other
parents who are preparing to" let their last child go.
Fortunately, many of our kids are two or three sport athletes who
will transition to the winter and spring sports seasons, so we will get
the opportunity to still see our kids in action. The downside to that,
of course, is that we get to go through this whole sadness thing again
when those seasons come to a close.
The end of this era is definitely bittersweet. We're sad to see it
go, but so very happy to have been able to be a part of it.
