During Region 5B quarterfinals against Tripp-Delmont/Armour, the Wessington Springs Lady Spartans’ season came to an end after four sets. During the volleyball action, Carissa Scheel had 15 kills, and Raylee Fagerhaug had 23 digs. The Spartans finish the season 17-14.
“Overall they had a good season, a winning record. I think sometimes when you have high expectations and they don’t get met you can get discouraged. Despite that, they kept playing while facing adversity and challenges and played quite well,” said Wessington Springs Volleyball Varsity Head Coach Lynn Damm.
Damm points to not only the team’s accomplishments but also individual accomplishments celebrated throughout the season: Alyssa Grohs achieved the 2000 assists milestone, Avery Orth notched 1000 kills and 1000 digs and Raylee Fagerhaug racked up 1000 digs.
“Sometimes there’s more to high school sports than just winning,” reflected Damm. “These girls learned a lot and will have these memories to cherish the rest of their lives.”
