The Lady Bucs Volleyball team had what many consider the weekend of a lifetime! For the 12 Ladies sporting Black, Blue and White it may be considered a dream come true…from this coaches perspective it was simply the result of hard work, dedication and a positive look at what can happen when a group sets a goal. And now for these twelve…they can call themselves CHAMPIONS! STATE CHAMPIONS! Nine days into this seasons practice coach Langseth met and said to this group that he had a feeling that this could happen…that they could become the Alaska State Champions…that was the same day senior Linnea Langseth broke her ankle…that along with Bobbi Mott already out with an ACL injury was simply a setback to say the least. Through the leadership of the one remaining senior, Kaylee MAcDonald the young Buc team persevered and prospered. Fast forward to the State Tournament, and Senior Setter MacDonald now with a full team and ready to peak arrived at the ASAA State Tournament. MacDonald along with Langseth, Mott and Carlee Fleming were in familiar territory, as they are the remaining crew from the 2015 title team. Ready and poised the Bucs under their senior leadership pounced early, dispatching the Nikiski Bulldogs 3-1, winning 25-14, 11-25, 25-13, 25-12. Next was the defending state champs the Mt. Edgecumbe Braves. Again the Bucs stayed focused and put away the Braves in three straight sets. 25-22, 25-17, 25-23. On to the Championship Bracket were the ladies faced a formidable Grace Christian school. Again the ladies prevailed winning 3-1. 25-18, 25-11, 25-15, 15-25, 25-14. In the Championships the strong Lady Bucs would face the hard hitting Barrow Whalers. In front of packed house at West Anchorage, the Valdez Ladies proved they were the team to beat ousting the Whalers in three. Valdez would not be outdone. 25-16, 25-21, 25-13. AND NOW STATE CHAMPIONS!

Wrestling – Hutchison Meltdown: Coach Tyler Thompson

It is great to see our team slowly growing throughout the season. Although not all of our wrestlers made the trip to Fairbanks we managed to get eight wrestlers on the mat this weekend. Wrestlers included:

Jana Allen

Connor Britt

Sullivan Holt

Cora Kagak

Ethan Kockentiet

Jayce Lindekugel

Dustin Woods

Kalin Woods

Once again the wrestlers showed great improvement from the previous week. We have focused a lot of energy on the mat and technique this season and it certainly shows on the mat. As we move into the second half of the season we plan to push our conditioning to new heights and pick up the intensity in the room. Our wrestlers have learned a great deal of technique and wrestle with a high intensity for most of the match. However, we need to learn to wrestle with the same, high, intensity for the entirety of the match. Therefore, we will push our conditioning to gain the confidence to wrestler at that level every second.

We had a few outstanding moment from the weekend but one that stands out the most is Dustin Woods 3rd place finish in the 170 lb bracket. Dustin is the wrestler to make it the podium this season. Dustin showed a lot of guts in a few nail biting matches and is well deserving of this 3rd place finish.
