Days With the Duerksens

 Delaney and her teammates had an amazing volleyball season! They ended the season undefeated in the Wheat State League, and they only lost 2 matches overall. They had a notable win over Moundridge, 2 wins over Elyria, and THREE wins over Little River - all teams we have had trouble with in the past. They were so fun to watch, working as a team and developing throughout the season, and they ended as the league tournament champs. Thanks to Raechel Boese and Tara Churchill for their work with these ladies. What a fantastic way to end Delaney's middle school volleyball days!

 Cambry's been on a college search this fall, and basically narrowed it down to Bethel or Hesston. After great visits to both colleges, she has decided that, for now, Hesston College feels like a good fit for her. She is really excited about their art professor and the new space the art department is getting, and it felt like his ideas meshed with hers pretty well - laid back, go with the flow, make it and see what happens! The two-year set-up also feels very good! We are happy that she feels comfortable with her choice and that she will be close to home. Maybe she will even have some lunches with Dad during his lunch break!  She enjoyed touring Bethel with her friend, Rebecca, a junior.
