My doubts were subsided when I walked into the bar to hear the sound of - what? AC/DC? I instantly felt more comfortable when I realized that these guys weren’t there to simply impress a smoky bar room full of cowboys. These guys were there to party hard and give the crowd a great time. And party they did. This crazy band, born in 1993, consists of five fun guys from around the Midwest: Steve McGinnis, Keith Wilson, Gene Davis, Steve Bruggeman and John Spooner. Together, The City Limit Band put on a very fun, unique, exciting show. Their range of talent includes songs from the fifties, blue- grass, classic country, classic rock, modern country, and - even though they’re primarily a cover band - they have a few original tunes of their own. Some of my favorite covers were “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Call Me By My Name,” and “Long Haired Country Boy.” A few of the popular artists they Photo by Shiloh Nichols cover are Dwight Yoakam, The City Limit Band was out to have a good time at the Phoenix Club last weekend.

The Loper volleyball team battled an undefeated Fort Hays State team Tuesday before falling in five games (25-30, - 22, 16-30, -24, -12). The 16th ranked UNK volleyball team had been on a seven-match winning streak before facing the Tigers. Fort Hays' victory over UNK is their first since 1992. “FHSU is very good this season and I believe they are now 13-0. They are a veteran team that has been on the rise for a couple of seasons now so it was not a surprise that they were good enough to win,” Rick Squiers, Head Volleyball Coach, said. The Lopers came out swinging, led by Erin Gudmundson, Kearney sophomore, with 20 kills and four blocks, as well as Erin Arnold, Casper, Wyo., junior, who contributed 18 kills and 17 digs. Kelly Bunger, Grand Island freshman, added to the UNK effort with 15 kills, as did Samantha Danner, Burton, Kan., junior, with seven kills. UNK had a strong .405 hitting percentage in game three to beat the Tigers 16-30, but FSHU came back strong to take the fourth and fifth games. “We played well for most of the match, but FSHU was more opportunistic than we were and Metro State this past Tuesday. games could have gone our way. for the Lopers was their block- have dedicated more time to distractions to deal with at played better at key points in the The Lopers were led We hit very well in games one ing game, with 11 blocks, eight blocking drills in practice,” home.
