Cogs see improvements

October 22, 2009
Genoa-Kingston High School


The season might not have gone the way Genoa-Kingston coach Tiffany Sitarz wanted, but she has seen improvements on the court as the season has progressed.

Inexperience and youth has slowed the Cogs' season, but Sitarz said she has seen an increase in drive and intensity.

"I see that drive because they see themselves getting better," Sitarz said. "The coaches are saying the same thing compared to past years. They are building and they see it."

The Cogs fell to 0-5 in the Big Northern Conference West Division after suffering a 25-22, 21-25, 25-12 defeat to Byron on Tuesday. Gretchen Freise led the offense with 11 kills, while Volkening dished off 23 assists. Rachel Ellstrom had seven blocks.

"I've seen it little by little, but they see how close they are getting and they want it more and more," Sitarz said. "We've lost to every team but one by two to five points. They can see how close they are to getting over that hump, they just need to learn how to finish."

Genoa-Kingston will honor four seniors tonight when it hosts Stillman Valley.

Catrine Capek, Danielle Ellstrom, Lauren Volkening and Kylie Vanda will play their final regular-season home game tonight.
