By Tyler Julson
tyler.julson@albertleatribune.com

The Lake Mills volleyball team


capped off its regular season over
the weekend with a tournament
in Algona.
The Bulldogs dominated in pool
play before cruising into the finals
where they beat Clear Lake 2-1,
dropping their only set of the day.
In their first match
Lake Mills took

host Algona,
winning in
straight sets
21-11, 21-7. Head coach Jim Boeh-
mer said the team had lost a set to
Algona earlier this season so he
knew they had to play well to win.
“I thought we were aggressive
in all aspects of the game and the
girls were focused for the first
match of the day,” Boehmer said.
In the next matchup, Lake Mills
battled with Clear Lake. The Bull-

In the final match of pool play,

out on top 21-9, 21-19.
The first set was won handily by

the Mohawks right behind. After
getting out to a 15-8 second set
lead, the class 4A Mohawks came
back to make it tight, cutting the
lead to two points 18-16.
The win over Mason City gave
Lake Mills its 30th victory of the
season, one of the team’s goals
from the beginning of the year.
But they weren’t done quite yet.
Lake Mills met with Spencer
in the semifinals, defeating them
21-19, 21-15. Spencer is one of
Lake Mills four losses this season,
and the Bulldogs were looking
forward to a shot at redemption

NRHEG eighth grader Quinn VanMaldeghem congratulates the winner “We trailed in set one 13-8 and
of the girls’ Gopher Conference race after finishing second herself United South Central sophomore Kayla Thunstedt was the top finisher we had to start executing,” he
with a time of 21:53.83. for the Rebels, coming in 26th place with a time of 28:18.73. said. “It wasn’t a bad scheme, it
was just poor execution, but from
that point on we stepped up and
began to eliminate errors and
we got back into it. Set two, we
controlled things from the start
and built five- to seven-point leads
throughout. This was a nice win
for us and put us into the cham-
pionship match.”
In the championship, Lake
Mills again took on Clear Lake,
this time dropping their first set
but ultimately coming back to win
19-21, 21-7, 15-5.
Boehmer said the energy and
passion shown by the Clear Lake
team was what led to them taking
the early one-set advantage. But
building a 6-0 lead in the second
set and going on multiple three-
point runs in the third set it what
ultimately led the Bulldog victory.

Crypto Quote - October 2021 by Myles Mellor


Crypto Quote is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think X equals O, it will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single
letters and short words give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is by trial and error. Answer can be found in next Wednesday’s edition.
