After a rocky start, this school’s women’s junior varsity volleyball season is making a comeback. During the first half of the season the Hounds lost three games out of five. But now, in the second half of the season, the girls have won all their games.

“I think we’ve definitely improved as a team. Like before there wasn’t much chemistry, but now we work more as a team. At first, it was a little different for all of us because our coach was new, so no one really knew what she was like, so now we’ve gotten into a comfort zone, so we’re playing better and more unified as a team,” Sophie May, JV volleyball player and sophomore, said.

On Oct. 8, the women’s cross-country team will compete at the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference (MIC) Championships meet, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Ben Davis. This meet features all of the top teams in the MIC.

According to Head Coach Chuck Koeppen, the team is fairly healthy headed into the meets. “No disrespect meant to the rest of the teams in the MIC but I think our girls are going to be in pretty good shape,” Koeppen said. “Maybe we won’t need to get so fired up and psyched up for the MIC and still have all that coming into the Sectionals against the defending State champs, Westfield.” Read more

This school’s men’s cross-country team is inching closer to a State title for Head Coach Chuck Koeppen in his last season, with the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference (MIC) Championships and Sectional meets just around the corner.

“I’d say that things are going well as of now because everybody seems to be in pretty good shape and fairly healthy,” Koeppen said. “(Team captain and senior) Logan Rosenberg has been somewhat injured which doesn’t help us. I think he’s rounding back into form, hopefully, but everybody else is healthy and ready to go so we should be good.” Read more

This year more than others, the pressure is on even higher for the women’s soccer team and its seniors hoping to win a State title. For the seniors, they could be the only group of upperclassmen to graduate without a title, and with only three regular season games left, the team must now look ahead to the State tournament which stands in their way to a championship. But to get there, the team faces very tough Sectional play and injuries which will make it even more difficult for the team to achieve its State title goals. Read more
