RIGHT: Lucero looks for the pass. Fall 2014 - 20 WSD had the opportunity to field both an A and a B team. The A team consisted mainly of 7th and 8th graders while the B team consisted of 4th through 7th graders. Both teams were able to compete against many area schools. Significant improvements were exhibited from last season. Five wins and six loses were claimed by the B team; compared to tougher competition faced by the A team which won three and lost 14 matches. Badger Invitational Middle School Volleyball tournament in Lake Geneva was the highlight of the season. The A team competed hard and won 3rd place in its pool. Battling it out against the Lake Geneva Middle School’s A team, the Firechicks lost the match in the third game. It was a heartbreaker as they earned 6th place out of eight teams but they learned a great deal about tournament play. The WSD middle school volleyball team will miss the 8th graders, Keisha Payne, Lucero Uriostegui, Desiree West, Brianna Henke, and Paige Sheffield but will look forward to them competing at the varsity level.
