It was a rebuilding year for the Melcher-Dallas Volleyball Program. After winning the Bluegrass Conference title last season, winning 23 matches and getting to the class 1A regional semi-final, there would be an adjustment. Coach Jesyka Nolte tells KNIA Sports as their season went along their fundamentals improved and the young squad got more confident.

Nolte: “I just knew if I could get them in the gym and teach them some fundamentals we would do OK. We have several girls with a lot of potential and I think this will be a team to watch in a couple of years.”

Melcher-Dallas finished 5-17 this season but only lost three seniors and will return several girls who got playing time this year.
