Winner High School volleyball team fell to Lyman in three games on Sept. 15. The Lady Warriors lost the match 23-25, 18-25, 22-25.

“In warm ups before the match started, Skyler VanDenHul went down with a knee injury. So we had to adjust our rotation on the spot without going over it. That threw us off and we had a hard time recovering from losing Skyler,” said coach Jaime Keiser.
“We gave Lyman too many unearned points on serving errors and attack errors. I was proud of girls who stepped up and played different spots. I was also proud of the girls for adapting to new rotations while I kept changing things up to see what would work best,” said Keiser.

The next action for Winner will be Sept. 26 at Elk Point-Jefferson and Sept. 29 at Todd County.

The opening kickoff set the tone for the game as the Winner Warriors defeated Wagner 56-6 Friday night. The No. 2 rated Warriors improved their record to 3-0.
The game ended with 2:44 left to play in the fourth quarter due to the mercy rule.
Lattrell Terkildsen took the opening kickoff and ran 90 yards for the touchdown to open the game. This was the first of 28 points that Winner scored in the first quarter.
“That opening kickoff was a great start to the game,” said coach Dan Aaker. “We played a well rounded game with a special teams touchdown, a defensive TD and a defensive interception by Windsor Barry for a TD. It is not very often that you see all three areas be able to score a touchdown,” said the coach.
