"I can't express enough of how proud of these girls I am. To be as successful as they are in all aspects of their lives and to have the courage they had to compete against other girls who have been playing basketball for many years on top of doing that in front of everyone who came out to the games.

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!

She stands out in every defensive drill we do and is extremely fun to watch. When I asked the girls who worked the hardest in practice this year, she was the answer."
The Wildcat Award goes to Lilly Warrick.
"I feel Lilly is a wildcat through and through," stated Jonson. "She was the one who was the most comfortable screaming and getting the girls excited during practice and games. She likes to have a little fun and does a good job balancing silly and serious."
Serving Award of the Year goes to Nicole Roper.

"There are so many great things I could say about this girl, but if I could choose one word to describe her it would be CLUTCH," state Johnson. "In the game against Advance this year we were in a rut, I found a hole and called a timeout. I asked her to hit a very small spot ont eh court that was a sharp angle from a position that she doesn't even play, just thinking she would get it in the vicinity and we could manage from there. This girl went out there and hit it dead on for a kill."
The MVP goes to Jewel Chism.
