Volleyball Team Takes
Fourth in District Play
The Lady Tiger volleyball team wrapped up its 2001
season on Nov. 3 at the District Tournament in Shawnee, Kan. Cowley won
its first two matches, defeating Pratt and Independence, but then lost
its next two, to Neosho and Garden City. The 2-2 finish gave Cowley fourth
place in the District.
Cowley’s season ended with a 21-20-3 record. Four players earned post-season
awards. Sophomore Megan Houk and freshman Natalie Wheaton were named first-team
All-Jayhawk Conference Eastern Division, while freshman Karissa Thomas was named
to the second team, and sophomore Kassie Hargrove was an honorable mention selection.
First-year Head Coach Joanna Howell told The Cowley Press, “It feels good
to have a season under my belt. Overall, we had a great season. It was a great
learning experience for the girls and me. We have a lot to work on to get ready
for next season.” Houk, from Valley Center, said the team showed improvement. “Throughout
the season, we became stronger as a team,” Houk said. “Toward the
end, we knew how everyone played and what to expect from each individual.”
