Seniors Camden Desroches and Hudson Haas finished third and fourth, respectively, as the Eagles cruised to their second consecutive championship, re- cording 36 points to outdistance runner-up Waunakee, which finished with 64 points. “I couldn’t have imagined that,” Haas said of winning back-to-back conference titles when he joined the program as a freshman. “I’d say that’s even better than me going to state my sophomore year. I’m re- ally happy that me and my boys were able to do that.

Kala O’Connell gave the tra- ditional “coach speak.” One game at a time. Not looking ahead, etc., etc. But O’Connell, Wisconsin Heights’ girls’ volleyball coach, has a good feeling about her Vanguards. Second-seeded Heights opened the postseason Tues- day with a WIAA Division 3 quarterfinal against 15th seeded Cambridge. If Heights defeated Cambridge, it would host the winner of the No. 7 Mineral Point and 10th-seeded Parkview Thursday at 7 p.m. in a regional semifinal. If the Vanguards win there, they would host the regional finals Saturday at 7 p.m. If the seeds hold, Heights would then meet No. 3 River Ridge. The sectional semifinals are Oct. 31 and the sectional finals are Nov. 2. And while O’Connell was saying all the right things, she’s also optimis- tic her team is ready to embark on a big playoff run. “If the girls play like I know they can, we should be ad- vancing through regionals,” O’Connell said. “I think it’s going to be a fun week.” Heights certainly had a good subbed out after two plays, one had four straight service points time last week, notching im- in which she got a dig so that as the lead grew to 19-10, then pressive wins over Cambridge was fun.” VanRiper served set point. and Belleville.
