Bloomfield, Missouri - During the Bloomfield Middle School and High School Awards Ceremony Nicole Roper received a special volleyball for her 1,000th assist during the 2016 - 2017 volleyball season.

On September 22, 2016 at the Bloomfield vs Woodland home game, Nicole Roper became a part of the 1,000 point club!

"Since her freshman year, this girl has put in countless hours of practice working on one thing," commented Sherilyn Johnson, Bloomfield head volleyball coach.  "Most of the girls get a break and opportunity to work on different skills, but when you are the setter you must tirelessly work on one skill.  Whether it is chasing down crazy passes or setting 75 more balls so the hitters can get "just one more", being the only setter is hard work."

"It was truly a pleasure tossing each and every ball to this girl for the last three years because while doing that my constructive criticism has all paid off."

Congratulations Nicole!
