The 2022 Chase Kats high school volleyball season opened this past week with matchups against several local and league teams from across north central Kansas. On Friday, August 26th, the Lady Kats were on the road to Natoma for a Triangular against the Tigers and the Lady Longhorns from Thunder Ridge High School. The Kats played strong in the first set against the Lady Tigers, but fell short in a late surge, dropping the match 2-0 (25-27, 12-25). Against a very aggressive and larger Longhorns team, the Kats struggled to make headway in the hot and humid Natoma gymnasium, losing 2-0 (12-25,10-25).

On Tuesday, the Lady Kats hosted a triangular against the Tescott Trojans and the Lincoln Leopards. The opening matchup between the Lady Trojans and Lady Kats would prove to be a drawn out battle, going three sets that scored very close. In the end, the Kats came away with the win, taking the final points beyond 25 to win 2 sets to 1 (25-20, 21-25, 27-25). Seniors Cassie Herrera, Isabella Antuna, and Kinsley Wood pushed the squad through the final stretch of the third set to secure the win. In the final varsity matchup of the night, the Kats faced off against the Lincoln Lady Leopards, who had played strong against the Lady Trojans, winning the match in 2 sets (13-25,23-25). Senior Kaycee Murphy came off the bench to fill in and help Juniors Melea Ryan and Abigail Blackburn take the Leopards to the very end of the first set, falling 24-26. The Lady Kats fell to the Leopards in 2 sets (24-26, 15-25).

Sophomore Jersey Meyeres was tasked with anchoring the JV squad as well as being the primary setter for Varsity as well, showing strong grit and determination. The JV team split with the JV Lady Trojans (21-16, 14-21) and swept the JV Lady Leopards (21-13, 21-20) for the final action of the night. Coach Celena Feil was really proud of how hard the girls worked through the night. “They have all come a long way in the last 15 days, especially having had to learn a completely new rotation.”

Before the Chase Fest last Saturday sister Paula Bieberle along with Gene Haas stopped by the High School to put some bars on the In Memory Plaque. Of course I had to use the loo and was surprised to see this on the stall doors. I asked Gene if the Men's room was the same way and he confirmed so i went in and took photos there too. Love them.

So this happened in Chaseamerica the first week or so of April. It was posted on facebook and some of the comments
that speculated as to what it used to be are these: That is the Joe Adams (snow cone) home. Dr. Wallace had an office there also, The old Adams building. Joe Adams had a plumbing shop there and they lived in the back, I think at one time he had a shoe repair shop. I remember him sitting out on those stairs in the evenings, They used to sell fireworks out of there, it was originally a meat market. The house was added in the 50's and it was the oldest building in town. It was made of Chase bricks, which were very soft bricks and they were made at a plant down by where Farley's is now. So what do you remember about this building? email me and I will add those comments to this post. Sad to see any building in Chase gone.
