CHEYENNE — Stephanie Dickinson, a former standout athlete at Cheyenne South, will be joining the Laramie County Community College volleyball team in the next few days.

Dickinson has already tried out and made the team. She is awaiting a physical before she can play or take part in team practice.

LCCC interim coach Cynthia Henning met with Dickinson before she tried out and talk about what she expected from the freshman. So far, she has met those expectations.

“We wanted somebody that was going to learn, work hard and she has come in and done that,” Henning said.  Continue reading →

South volleyball looking to find answer for opening set struggles

CHEYENNE — There is no obvious answer for anyone involved with Cheyenne South’s volleyball program as to why the team hasn’t been able to find much consistency in the first set.

Scratch that — there isn’t an answer why the team can’t find much positive consistency in the first set.

“I would love to see them come and really play at first set,” South coach Sandy Smith said.

“We do struggle with that. It’s like a one-set warm-up and that’s not the way volleyball works. You don’t get to warm-up for a game (in the game). That’s what the warm-up is for.” Continue reading →

South’s near upset

Posted on by

Cheyenne South’s volleyball team nearly grabbed its first Class 4A victory Tuesday night. The Bison took the first two games from fourth-ranked Cheyenne Central 25-22 and 25-18. They gritted out a back-and-forth first game that featured five lead changes and 10 ties. Then — just to prove that the first game wasn’t a fluke — South never trailed in the second game.

Unfortunately for the Bison, Central won the next two games 25-22, 25-15 and 15-9 to escape with the win.

While Central’s performance was certainly gutty, South’s effort is what stood out to me.
