The Bridgewater-Emery volleyball team has been on a remarkable 10-game winning streak, having recently defeated Ethan and Wessington Springs. The Huskies, who had dropped two consecutive matches earlier in the season, have since turned their fortunes around under the guidance of head coach Mary Ernster. The team's turnaround can be attributed to the leadership of a group of eight seniors, who have been instrumental in the team's success since they were in eighth grade.
Sophomore Jatczak has emerged as another key contributor this season. Oakley Weber has led the team with 189 kills, while Jatczak has 142 kills, Hilton has 318 assists and 164 digs, and Macie Weber has 27 aces. The Huskies aim to reach the Class B state volleyball tournament, which will require them to navigate one of the more competitive regions in Class B.
