- 0:51huge team win, Bureau Valley coach Sage Olison said. We got everybody
- 0:56some playing time that was well earned, well deserved. The came out,
- 0:59took care of business, and did it together. With the postseason coming

- 1:33Last year we started off really hot and kind of derailed a
- 1:37little bit, so it's nice to finish the season winning everything in
- 1:40our conference. We have so much fun together And we've been able
- 1:44to build more, off each other. We've been able to give each
- 1:47other criticism and feedback and get better because we all want to
- 1:51win. Bureau Valley has achieved its highest single-season win total since 2005
- 1:57and a No. 4 seed in The
- 1:59upcoming Class 1A Weathersfield sectional. We're hitting all these milestones one thing
- 2:04at a time, Ollison said. And the girls aren't content, they're hungry
- 2:09for more, and they come out and compete every night. That's the
- 2:13difference. Going into the postseason, going undefeated in the conference, going on
- 2:18this big run at the end of the year, they're not happy
- 2:20with it. And I'm okay with that. The storm closed the regular
- 2:24season at home Thursday with a non-conference match against Riverdale 21:9 before
