Schmidt’s serving lifts Trojans over Kee

By Becky Walz,

Consistent, sharp serving combined with stellar hitting propelled the Turkey Valley volleyball team (17-15) to a 3-0 win over Kee (1-19) in the Class 1A Region 5 action Monday night. Game scores for the Trojans were 25-4, 25-13 and 25-6.
“The girls played great together and are moving well as a team. The team together had 18 total aces tonight. It was our seniors last volleyball game in the Turkey Valley gym for them and all of them got to see court time,” said co-coaches Tammy Vrzak and Jackie Novotny.
The Trojans had 30 kills, 28 assists, 19 digs, 18 aces and served 60-for-69.
Leading the way at the net was Adriana Tiedt with 12 kills. The sophomore also served 8-for-10 with six aces.
