On October 10th the Spartans were host to Elkhorn Valley.  The match would prove to be a close contest, with none of the 3 sets being lopsided.  Boyd County dropped the first set, but would come back and win the next two to take the match 2-1. 

Set one saw the Spartans playing a few points behind most of the way.  Elkhorn Valley had several 3 point serving runs that kept BC playing catch up.  After a Spartan timeout at 18-23, an offensive push with some tough serving forced an EV timeout at 21-23.  BC would tie it up at 23-23, but EV was able to get the last two points to claim set one.  Boyd County started out strong in set two taking an early lead with a score of 15-10 at midpoint.  EV kept fighting, forcing a Spartan timeout at 19-15.  Several good rallies would follow between the two squads.  At 23-22 it was anyone's set.  BC fought for the last two points and won 25-22.  The deciding third set was another close battle.  Tied up 15-15, teams would continue to trade side outs with neither team taking control.  With Amelia Hoffman serving tough behind the line, BC took charge offensively and stepped up defense.  EV called a timeout at 21-18, but Amelia's 7th serve in a row, including two aces kept momentum in our favor and Spartans would prevail, 25-18.   Defensively on the night, Riley Haun had 9 digs, Bentley Adams and Jenny Goesch each added 4.  Leah Jockens and Amelia Hoffman were each credited with one kill block.   Riley led the way in set assists with 11 and Haylie Carson chipped in 3.  Many of the hitters again recorded kills for the match: Amelia 10, Kiryn Kayl 5, Haylie 3, Gina McCarthy 3, Leah 2, Rylie 2, Bentley 2, with Jenny and Nevaeh Jockens each adding 1.  Recording aces in the match were: Amelia 3, Kiryn 2, and each with one were Riley, Haylie, Nevaeh and Jenny.

On October 7th JV volleyball traveled to Springview.  The first match was against the host team.   The Spartans served tough and kept the young Knights from setting up their offense.  Boyd County cruised to a 2 set victory, 25-14 and 25-13.  Amelia Hoffman recorded two aces and Rylie Haun and Samantha Heiser each had one.  Rylie Haun dished out 11 set assists with Haylie Carson adding 2.  Jenny Goesch was credited with 5 digs and Rylie 3.  Our hitters were all swinging hard with many recording kills: Bentley Adams 5, Haylie 4, Amelia Hoffman 3, Leah Jockens and Kiryn Kayl 2 each and Jenny with one back row kill.

Match two was against Ainsworth.  The Bulldogs would prove to be more of a challenge.  Boyd County split 1 set each, and forced a 3rd where Ainsworth would prevail and win the match.  Set 1 was a close battle for the duration.  Tied at 23-23 the Spartans weren't able to find the floor and lost 23-25.  The second set was all Spartans.  Leading 15-9 midway behind some tough serving, they never looked back.  Boyd County won 25-17.   The Spartans weren't able to ride the momentum into the 3rd set, where it was a battle.  Ainsworth really stepped up their defense on our attacks and able to come out on top of some long rallies.   Ainsworth won the set 21-25 taking the match 1-2.  Rylie had 12 set assist with Haylie adding 5.  Bentley played tough at the net earning 11 kills.  Other offensive leaders were Haylie with 5 kills, Amelia 4, Kiryn 3, Leah 2 and Nevaeh Jockens 1 kill.  Leah and Kiryn were also credited with one ace block each.  With about 2.5 weeks left in the regular season, the Spartan JV team is 5-3.
