DMS Volleyball: Good Athletes & Good Citizens

They played some terrific volleyball on the court, and off the court the young ladies of the volleyball teams at T.S. Hill Middle School were pretty terrific, too!

The seventh and eighth grade teams at the school held a scrimmage Tuesday evening. But not only did the young athletes have services, spikes and set-ups on their minds, but also about helping others.

As part of the evening, fans were encouraged to bring at least one non-perishable food item to be donated to the Stoddard County Rescue Mission. As fans entered the school, Principal Scott Kruse’s pickup truck was parked near the front door for fans to place their donations.

And the teams’ fans showed their support – not only in attending the scrimmage but in helping collected food for the mission. All-in-all, the effort was a success.

As they climb up on top of the canned goods in Kruse’s truck Tuesday evening, the young ladies were enthused by the result of the evening’s food drive. They proudly showed off the cans collected.

The teams are led by Head Coach Melissa Hahn and assistant Kara Lummukka.

“We had three cart LOADS delivered today to the Mission!  Great time,” Kruse said Wednesday morning.

A great accomplishment – helping meet a real need right now in the community! Thanks, Middle School Lady Bearcats!




The Lady Bearcats are set to open their season Thursday (March 15) night against the Sikeston Lady Bulldogs; the eighth grade squad posted a lopsided victory over Sikeston during their seventh grade year. The season opener is scheduled for seventh grade action at 6 p.m., with the eighth grade squad immediately following.
