  brought to you by Everlit. The Bureau County Metro Center started a
• 0:21
  youth volleyball league this fall, and when organizer Halle Munroe was trying
• 0:26
  to make sure there were enough coaches, she approached Princeton volleyball coach
• 0:30
  Libby Boyles about high school players volunteering. Mro, who previously coached
• 0:36
  Lemoyle High School volleyball, came to Princeton Practice to get information from
• 0:41
  players who were interested. Enough players volunteered that every youth team has
• 0:46
  high school players helping. We had a great turnout of girls volunteering,
• 0:51
  which I was super excited to see, Boyle said. This league is
• 0:54
  for the younger girls who don't get the school experience quite yet
• 0:58
  because of their age. It's so nice to see my girls giving
• 1:02
  back to the sport that's gives the so much and feeding their
• 1:05
  volleyball knowledge to this new generation. Boyles said.
• 1:09
  The experience will be good for her players as well. This gives
• 1:13
  my girls some good experience in learning how to coach and gives
• 1:17
  the younger girls a familiar face that they might have seen at
• 1:20
  camp over the summer, Boyle said Closing in on a record LaSalle
• 1:24
  Peru senior Aubrey Dutlinger eclipsed 1,000 career kills earlier this season, and
• 1:30
  now has a chance to become LaSalle Peru's all-time leader in career
• 1:33
  kills. Entering Tuesday's match against Ottawa, Dutlinger has 1,090 kills. LaSalle-Paru
• 1:40
  coach Mark Haberkorns said that, to the best of his knowledge, Cam
• 1:44
  Olson, a 2020 graduate, is the Cavaliers Career kills. Record holder with
• 1:49
  1,223 kills. With a guaranteed seventeen matches left, including at least one
• 1:56
  in the postseason, Dutlinger needs to average 7.8 kills per match to
• 2:00
  reach Olsen's total. I think it's very exciting, Dutlinger said about approaching
• 2:05
  the record. My freshman year I didn't have many kills I wasn't
• 2:09
  a six rotation player. Just to see my improvement, I just feel
• 2:13
  very proud. Duttlinger has 268 kills in 18 matches this season, an
• 2:19
  average of 14.9. The Troy recruit has fourteen double digit kill
• 2:25
  matches this season. She’s leads the state, according to Max Preps, in
• 2:29
  kills per set at six point five. Dutlinger's 268 total kills rank
• 2:34
  second in the state behind Joliet West Jr. Lexi Grevengode who has
• 2:39
  281 in eight more sets played. Glue of our team, Sarah Wiesbrock

  is a three-year starting Libero for Putnam County, and she's played a
• 2:48
  key role in the Panthers 12-3 start, including a 4-0 start in
• 2:52
  the Tri-County Conference. Wiesbrock has 228 digs through 36
• 2:58
  sets, an average of 6.3 per set, and has 1,275 career digs.

  Sarah Wiesbrock is a three-year starting Libero who is the glue of
• 3:09
  our team. Putnam County coach Amy Bell said. She is a huge
• 3:13
  asset on the floor for us, already racking up 228 digs and
• 3:17
  playing a key role in our serve receive. She is a two-year
• 3:20
  captain with excellent leadership skills. Team Bonding in Chicago. Bureau Valley coach

  challenge at Wrigley Field. The storm saw Penn State defeat Kentucky. The

  second match between Nebraska and Missouri was rescheduled due to court condensation.
