Strathmore High School (SHS) hosted the JV Girls Volleyball Zones Nov. 16 and 17. There were 10 teams who came out to compete for the title of zone champion. 
“It was a pretty smooth tournament,” said Kyle Larson who coached the girls for the weekend. 
“We lacked a little offense but I think our offense had come a long ways in the last month or so and the girls saw the benefits of that as far as being able to hit the ball a little better and a little more often. That was kind of the area we focused on was our passing and our offense and the girls did a much better job of that this weekend than say even three weeks ago.”    
Larson said the girls won the matches they should have won and put up a good battle in the ones they lost. The girls ended the season 2-5-0. 
“It was a good season I think it was definitely a growing season for the girls, they played a fair bit and they saw what the high school level is going to be like to some extent. It was a wonderful bunch of girls to work with for sure,” said Larson. 
Jerry Flaws coached the girls through most of the season with Larson taking over for the zones weekend. 
“It was a rebuilding year. We improved our school and volleyball knowledge.  It was a dramatic improvement. We were beating teams at the end of the season that we couldn’t earlier. With the possibility of eight returning players next year our future looks good,” said Flaws.
