ALTOONA-MIDWAY MIDDLE SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL
BUFFALO – Hard work at practice has been paying great dividends lately for the Altoona-Midway Middle School volleyball team.
The latest sign of that came here Thursday afternoon, as the Lady Jets took the measure of Liberty Homeschool Alliance in a best-of-five set match played at Milo Peterson Gymnasium.
Altoona-Midway won the match over the Chanute-based school in straight sets, 25 19, 25-20, 25-19.
Beginning the season with just seven squad members, four of whom had never played competitive volleyball before, the Lady Jets knew they had a lot of room for improvement.
And, they’ve done just that, having won four of their last five matches.
“To say we are proud is an understatement,” said AMMS head coach Nikki Almond. “The girls have been working hard to improve their skills in practice, and it's showing on the court. I love how eager this small group of seven is to learn and improve.”
The Lady Jets fired 10 aces during the match, led by Chantal Morales with four. Alexis Foudray was next with three aces, while Sandra Morales laced two and Hadlee Pupanek added one.
AMMS is also improving on the front line. Sandra Morales had two kills and Foudray and Chantal Morales recorded one apiece.
“We are getting more aggressive on the net, which is so exciting to see,” Almond said. “Sandra did some amazing net play tonight along with Alexis.
“While we need to work more on passing to the setter, our passes in general have improved greatly,” she added. “I’m confident the girls will continue to improve.”
Altoona-Midway, now 4-3 on the season, will travel to St. Paul on Monday for a quadrangular, competing against Thayer, St. Pats, and the host Lady Indians. First action is slated to begin at 5 p.m.
Homecoming is tomorrow night! Let your school spirit glow. Please wear black attire with neon accessories for the homecoming game. Ceremony starts at 6:45 followed by the game at 7:00. Go Jets!

ALTOONA-MIDWAY MIDDLE SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL
ALTAMONT – Despite only having seven squad members – including four who are playing volleyball for the first time – the Altoona-Midway Middle School volleyball team is picking things up quickly.
The Lady Jets split two matches here Tuesday, thereby picking up their first victory of the young season.
Host Altamont took the measure of AMMS 25-10, 25-10 in the first match, but the Lady Jets bounced back to record a 25-14, 25-20 triumph over Elk Valley.
“Tonight was a huge improvement from our opening game (last week) at Thayer,” noted AMMS head coach Nikki Almond. “I was so proud of the girls tonight. They learned what it feels like to win, and they’re learning to play smart.”
Complete stats were unavailable for the matches, but AMMS sixth-grader Sandra Morales was credited with three aces against Altamont and a whopping nine aces against Elk Valley.
“Overall, we served at 81 percent against Altamont, so that was a bright spot,” Almond said.
In addition to Morales’ nine aces against Elk Valley, the Lady Jets also got three aces apiece from Alexis Foudray and Hadlee Pupanek, and two aces each from Abby Relph, Chantel Morales, and Harmony McFarland.
“I told the girls at the beginning of the night that my biggest goal of the evening was for them to have fun and enjoy themselves, and they did just that,” Almond said.
Altoona-Midway (1-2) will travel to Tyro on Thursday for a dual with Tyro Christian School. The match is scheduled to get under way at 5 p.m.

ALTOONA-MIDWAY HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL
ROSALIA – After waiting two years between victories, the Altoona-Midway High School volleyball team only had to wait four days for their next win.
The Lady Jets went 1-2 in pool play of the Flinthills Tournament here Saturday, building upon their victory last Thursday that snapped a 25-match losing streak. After falling to host Flinthills and Hartford, AMHS wrapped up tournament play with a 25-23, 25-17 win over Chase County.
“It was a slow start for us this past weekend,” said AMHS head coach Michelle Morales. “But we played smart and took our last match against Chase County.
“We ended our day with a great win for our team. I'm so proud of how hard and smart these girls played,” Morales added. “They continue to improve with every game. They are becoming a very close-knit group of girls on and off the court.”
Flinthills went undefeated in pool play, while AMHS, Hartford and Chase County all tied for second place. The tiebreaker procedure gave Chase County the second seed and allowed them to advance to bracket play, despite the loss to the Lady Jets.
“Sadly, only the first and second seeds in each pool were allowed to advance,” Morales noted.
AMHS vs. Flinthills
The Lady Mustangs posted a 25-15, 25-12 win to open tourney play. AMHS freshman Emmalynn Pupanek recorded seven kills in a losing cause, while Bailey Graham had 13 assists. Mariah Stackhouse had 16 passes and four kills, while Alyssa Relph and Autumn Raymond added two kills apiece.
Alyssa Relph was the serving leader for the Lady Jets with nine, while Stackhouse and Summer Raymond each had four.
AMHS vs. Hartford
In a close match that ultimately cost the Lady Jets the chance to advance to bracket play, Hartford squeezed out a 25-18, 25-23 victory.
Stackhouse had a solid outing for the Lady Jets as she was credited with 11 kills and 10 serves, including three aces. Relph fired two aces and had five kills, while Autumn Raymond recorded six kills and one ace. Summer Raymond pitched in with five serves, while Graham handed out 21 assists.
AMHS vs. Chase County
The Lady Jets notched their second win in less than a week with a solid 25-23, 25 17 victory over Chase County.
Pupanek paced the attack with seven kills, eight serves and a block. Stackhouse had eight serves and four kills, while Relph notched five serves and two kills. Autumn Raymond came up with four kills and a block, Summer Raymond had a team-high 10 serves, and Graham dished out another 15 assists.
In the passing department, Stackhouse and Relph led the match totals with eight and seven, respectively, while Chloe Stewart had four important passes in the second set.
We’ve had some great senior leadership from Bailey Graham, Mariah Stackhouse and Alyssa Relph so far this year,” Morales said. “I'm so glad they have stepped up and taken on those very important roles. And also, despite Autumn Raymond and Emmalynn Pupanek being freshmen this year, they show no fear on the court. I'm excited to see what we can do this season.”
Altoona-Midway, now 2-8 on the year, was scheduled to participate Tuesday in the Marmaton Valley Quad at Moran.
