Kelbi Meiners.
The
team’s record from last year was 18 wins, 14 losses.
Coach
Jamie Keiser says the team will be different than in past years. “For
several years we have been a power house in hitting. This year we do
not have the hitters. We have some younger girls that are getting
there. We are going to have to be more strategic and find holes,”
she said.
The
coach added the team will have to find ways to score points.
Keiser
says the Lady Warriors have options to move players around. She said
Meiners can play various positions She can play outside, right side,
back row at times when she is needed. Meiners is also a good server.
Keiser
said Ashlyn McPhee is doing a good job. Klein and Moss will be doing
the setting.
The
Lady Warriors are going to do what fits them best. They will do what
is needed to get the most kills and the most points. “It might take
some tweeking to find out where we need to be,” said Keiser.
The
Lady Warriors have a tough schedule. The will play a lot of teams
that are ranked.
Keiser
feels Belle Fourche will be a team in Class A that can do some
damage. “They are young and last year really impressed me when we
played them,” said Keiser.
The
coach said she is really looking forward to this year. She said the
girls are willing to try anything and have a good attitude. “They
hustle nonstop. It is just fun and everyone gives a lot of effort.”

Babe
Haskell born Feb. 14, 1932 joined her parents Clarence and Marcia Davenport,
Wes her husband, two sisters and their spouses Velva (Warren) Sanborn, Lucille
(Hienie) Schnabel, sister-in-law Irene (Frenchie) Letourneau, brother-in-law’s,
Lloyd (Hap) Haskell and Lester (Helen) Haskell in heaven on Aug. 19, 2022.
Left
to carry on the family traditions are their children and their spouses; LaVonne
(Steve) Grill, Marcia (Pat) Newton, Gary (Vicky) Haskell, and Jerry (Cindy)
Haskell. Also, her grandchildren Kelli (Mark) Easter, Ryan (Jody R) Haskell, Chad
(Angel) Haskell, Kody Olthoff, Renee Trompke, Charlie (Mandy) Haskell, Luke
(Erica) Haskell, Tye (Carrie) Haskell, and last but not least Wesley (Julius T)
Haskell.
Babe
was blessed with 14 great grandchildren, each one put twinkles in her eyes.
Gus, Ethan, Carter, Avery, Henry, McKenna, Emerson, Everett, Marly, Taylor,
Cooper, Ira, Tru, and Leo, plus one on the way.
She
kept tabs on several nieces and nephews, as well, had frequent conversations to
catch up on each one’s lives. Her cell phone was a life saver for her.
Babe’s family was her pride and joy. She always had information to share just about with anyone she came in contact with. They became enjoyment for many. She gave and received a lot of love and was blessed and grateful for each and every one. Her heart was big and she was happiest when they were present, received a phone call, text, or a new picture from them. She rarely missed anyone’s birthday by sending a card with a little money tucked inside. She made sure everyone got the same so no one thought she was playing favorites.
It
was always a fun time on the Haskell farm.
Babe’s friends and neighbors were cherished to the fullest. She shared fond memories over and over. Her stories never got old. They brought a lot of laughter accompanied by smiles from ear to ear.
She was born, raised, and lived most of her life on the farm near Clearfield. Her life’s goal became serving and giving to others. She was always baking for some event and was well known for her sour cream raisin pie, homemade chicken and noodles, caramel rolls, and Mrs. Orr’s chocolate cake, garden veggies, and flowers that she shared with many.
Babe was a pillar of strength and courage in whatever endeavor she participated in. She was a giant to many and her shoes will be hard to fill. She was witty and sharp as a tack. She was the “go to” girl in many circles. She was the “life of the party”. She was a highlight with those she touched at Golden Prairie Manor whether at an activity or at the dinner table.
She leaves this earth a better place for all. She never knew a stranger and was a true heroin in many eyes.
Though her physical health declined, she
couldn’t see very well or hear worth a darn, she kept “showing up.” There
wasn’t much that held her back.
Many
will miss her presence and selfishly we wish she could have stayed longer but
her beautiful legacy will live on in our minds and hearts and we all agree well
done, Babe! Well done and she’d reply, “Love to you all!”
