The Sedgwick volleyball team was chosen as the Visit Wichita Team of the Month. The Cardinals are the top-ranked team in Class 2A and as of print time, were undefeated.
“I knew going into the season that we had a chance to be really good, but we’ve passed all expectations so far,” said Sedgwick coach Karen Stucky. “We’re on our way to a school record in wins but have a lot more goals in front of us.”
The Cardinals are a deep and talented team and are led by a pair of all-league selections in 2021 in Talya Sampson and Logan Stucky, as well as freshman Kalyn Sampson.
“The numerous ways we can score made it extremely difficult for other teams to know how to defend us,” Stucky said. “It’s been fun watching the girls take charge of that creativity, often talking in between plays about what their next offensive scheme will be.”
Sedgwick has been close to the state tournament the past few seasons but could not get over the hump.
We’ve been so close the last several years, losing to great teams such as Garden Plain or Hillsboro,” Stucky said. “We’re excited for the opportunity to be close to home in our sub-state (at Remington) and make a push to win it.”
