The New Lisbon Rockets girls volleyball team opened up their 2008 season against Scenic Bluffs Conference (SBC) foe the Wonewoc-Center Indians. Wonewoc-Center got off to a quick start in the first game behind some solid serving by senior Melissa McCracken, to take an early 5-0 lead, that forced a Rockets' timeout. The Indians continued to increase their lead, taking advantage of several Rocket mistakes, to take control with a 16-5 lead. New Lisbon calmed down following another timeout, but fell 25-17. The second game started much like the first, but this time the Rockets' stormed out to a 7-2 lead. Wonewoc-Center rallied to tie the game at 10-10, but the Rockets scored 10 of the next 11 points to take a commanding 20-11 lead and held on for the 25-14 win. The teams played extremely close games to finish the match, with the Rockets winning game three 26-24 and winning the match with a 27-25 win in game five. Weston 3, New Lisbon 0 The Rocket's couldn't keep the momentum going from their win over Wonewoc-Center on Tuesday and lost to non-conference opponent, the Weston Silver Eagles in straight games, 25-21, 25-17, 25-13. New Lisbon will try to get back on track on Tuesday, Sept. 9 when they travel to Cashton for SBC action. Wonewoc-Center 3, Kickapoo 2 The Indian's rebounded from their season opening loss to the Rockets, with a tough five-game win over the Kickapoo Panthers on Thursday. Wonewoc-Center opened the match with a 25-15 win, and took a two game lead with a 25-20 win in game number two. Kickapoo rallied to tie the match at two games apiece with a 25-19 win in game three, and a 25-21 game four win. The Indian's fought back and won the decisive fifth game, 15-10 for the win. Wonewoc-Center will look to knock off defending SBC champion Hillsboro on Tuesday, Sept. 9, at Hillsboro.
