BUTLER, Mo. – The Butler Bears volleyball squad took to the court for a preseason fundraiser scrimmage against Rich Hill and came away with a clean sweep — and a strong early message that this year’s team means business.
Led by a core of returning varsity talent, the Bears looked confident and cohesive. Senior setter Kamden Fennewald helped guide the offense, while Georgia McCoun, the team’s libero and fellow senior, anchored the defense. The Hiser sisters and Kylee Dubray also made their presence known, rounding out a group that’s shaping up to be both experienced and exciting.
Coach Heather Goldhammer praised the team’s summer work and upward trajectory.
“I am so proud of this group and the dedication they’ve shown this summer. With every summer game and workout, they’ve grown individually and as a team, and I am so excited for this upcoming season,” she told Tailgate TV.
With the regular season fast approaching, the Bears are putting the pieces together — and if the scrimmage was any indication, they may be poised to make a statement.
