Chiefs, Raiders Volley For The Cure – Volleyball Scoreboard (Audio and picture included)

The Bellefontaine Varsity Volleyball team hosted its first Volley For The Cure match against Benjamin Logan Tuesday night.

The Chiefs fell to the Raiders in straight games, 25-15, 25-19 and 25-23. At least for one night though, the game was secondary.

The Volley For The Cure program began three years ago by the Ohio High School Volleyball Coaches Association as a way for the state’s high school volleyball programs to help raise money and awareness for breast cancer and breast cancer research.

Tuesday’s match saw two teams playing for an illness that is probably a little too familiar to both schools.

In 2005 BHS teacher Kristina Mount was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive breast cancer. Fortunately, early detection allowed Mount to survive her bout with the horrific illness.

Tuesday’s Volley For The Cure match was the second such event for Benjamin Logan; the event is also very personal to members of the Raiders’ volleyball squad.

Sharon VanWinkle, the mother of Raiders volleyball coach Gretchen Powell, fought her own battle with breast cancer in the last year. However, a year filled with extensive treatment has VanWinkle on the road to recovery, too.

Listen to Coach Powell talk about how the nerves of playing in a game like this affected her team, and what it was like to have her mom next to her.

Both Mount and VanWinkle were in attendance Tuesday night and were named honorary coaches for the match.

For Benjamin Logan, Alexa Coughlin had 9 kills and Chelsea Cox added 4 kills.

Caroline Lehmon had 17 digs, Brooke Erwin added 13 digs and 1 ace, and Jessica Davia recorded 19 assists, 2 kills, and 1 ace.

The junior defensive end was named the MAC East Division Defensive Player of the Week after recording six tackles, three and a half tackles for loss, and three sacks in a 44-37 win at Bowling Green Saturday.

Notestine tied a school record with his three sacks and was part of a defensive effort that limited the Falcons to only 84 yards on the ground. Ohio sits at 3-2 on the year and 1-0 in conference play.

Shady Bowl closed out the ’09 season Saturday night with a wild evening of racing and thrills.

The season closer featured the trailer races, compacts, sports stocks, and a roll over contest.

The sport stock main was won by Bellefontaine driver Aaron Pippin in his H&R Block sponsored Monte Carlo. The win closed out a very successful season for Pippin, who thanked his family for helping to keep his ride in peak condition all season.

The 20 lap compact main was won by Bellefontaine’s Justin Durflinger. It marked the first win of the season for the second-generation driver. Mike Shaeffer, Dustin Young, Brian Temple, and Amber Sites rounded out the top five. Mason Patrick set fast time and won the heat.

The 10 lap Detroit Iron main was won by Jeff Ellis Jr. of DeGraff. Ellis was driving his first ever race in the Gary’s Auto Parts Cadillac. The win was popular with the fans, as Ellis, who is in the military, leaves in a month for a tour of duty in Iraq.

The wild trailer race followed with 26 drivers taking the green in cars and trucks towing everything from campers and boats to home made trailers. The action was as usual a crowd pleaser, with several red flags to clear the track of overturned trucks and debris. The race turned out to be a car and truck battle with John Painter in his full size Chevy pickup and C. J. Shroyer in a Toyota. The fans were cheering the Toyota on, as they rooted for the underdog, but it soon became apparent it was no match for the truck. A hard hit to the right front of the Toyota ended the night with Painter taking the win.

Ron Coppock was the winner of the roll over contest as he put his SUV through a series of flips that ended with his car on its top.
