The WEM volleyball team played a pair of Gopher Conference opponents last week and those two teams were on different sides of the standings.

The Bucs faced Class A No. 6 rated Kenyon-Wanamingo Tuesday, Sept. 8 and were defeated by the Knights, 25-15, 25-10, and 25-14. Two nights later the Bucs faced winless NRHEG and dominated the Panthers in a 25-9, 25-17, and 25-21 victory.

In the loss to the Knights, eighth grader Greta Velzke led the team with nine kills. Inezsa Pope and Kalyn Novak each added three kills.
