Haskell Indian Nation match-up11/7
Hello Flames Fans!
I think we all know we didn't play our overall best game tonight, but when our backs were against the wall we really showed what we are made of! It shows when we play together as a team we can get hot and go on a roll! Game 1 was really close, but we didn't let it slip away and finally closed the game 31-29.
I guess sometimes we still think we play to 30, just kidding I guess I am the only one who thinks that, just kidding Rod does too, just kidding we all know we play to 25!!
Game 2 was another close game, but when we needed to close the deal we did! Game 3 really showed what this team can do when our back is against the wall, when we were down 14-20 we really stepped up out game and started to play really agressive and kinda got a mean streak in us and that proved to be what we needed to battle back and win the match!!
GO FLAMES!!

Bellevue match-up 11/5
Hello Flames Fans!
I just wanted to say how proud I was of our team for battling the #4 team in the nation in Bellevue.
I defintely think it was one of our better games of the year, whether the score showed that or not. I think we played really well in Game 1 and after a rough Game 2 we started to come together stronger then anytime this year and really battle with Bellevue in Game 3. I hope with this loss, we will take the positive things we did as a team and build on it!!

Oklahoma Wesleyan...numero dos
Hello Flames Fans!
Friday, on a spooky Halloween night, before the Flames could go out and do their trick-or-treating, they had to take on the Oklahoma Weselyan Eagles in their second match up of the season. The Flames knew they had to perform at their best to take out the scrappy Eagle team.
The first game started out a little slow, back and forth points being scored, but in the end our passion and intensity helped us pull out a close 25-22 win. The second game we knew we had to come out on top of our game this time, because the Eagles weren't gonna go down without a fight. We proved that we had the right to win the game by putting our offensive and defensive talents together and pulling out an impressive 25-14 victory. But in order to put on our costumes and go, we had to finish off one last game. The Flames started off strong in the 3rd game, but Oklahoma Weselyan wouldn't go down without a fight. In the end we pulled it off and ended up winning the game 25-22. Congrats Flames!
We will see you next week where we take on Bellevue one last time on their home court, and then our final two matches at home vs. Haskell and Park on November 7th, and 8th.
REMEMBER!!! November 7th is Parent's night and we encourage all the parents to be there so we can honor all the work you've put in it for us players! Also, November 8th is Senior night, so come out and support Emilie as she plays her last home game of her career!
Thanks for coming out and continuing to support our team you Flames fans! Keep up the great cheering :)
Until next time...

The Flames take on the Briar Cliff Chargers for a second time!
Hello again Flames fans!
We just got back for our very last road trip :( to Sioux City, IA to face the Chargers.
The Flames got off to a great start during the first game against the Chargers. We came out strong with lots of awesome kills and aggressive serves that took the Chargers out of their offense. Unfortunatly, the Chargers took the match in three. After the match we reminded ourselves that we only have a few games left, and we all agreed that we want to end the season strong and competitive. We know that it's going to take lots of teammwork, desire and heart to pull out the last few wins of the season.
The Flames have a rematch with Oklahoma Wesleyan on Halloween night. Keep supporting your volleyball girls, and don't forget to wear that costume! HAHA
Ta Ta for now!

Flames vs. Peru State
Hey Flames Fans,
Saturday, October 25 we played Peru State after an exciting win over Central Christian the night before. We started off each set of the match a little rocky, but we really pulled it together once we got a few points under our belts. The second set was very close; we had hard hits, great passing and some awesome blocks, with us almost causing a 4th game to happen. We tried to carry that energy to the third set, but struggled with passing and putting the balls away. The flames came back at one point in the set and gave the Bobcats a run for their money, but we couldn't quite pull it off. It was by far an exciting game, even though we didn't walk out with a W. The crowd was great in cheering for us and was a good momentum booster.
Thanks to all the fans that come to watch, it made it that much more fun to play for you :] We're taking on Briar Cliff on Tuesday the 28th in Sioux City, IA and hoping for a win!

Flamers vs. the Tigers of Central Christain
To all you flamers fans:
Going game-less throughout the week, the Flames were excited to get back on the hardwood once again. This time across the net from us was the Tigers of Central Christain out of McPherson, Kansas. We were ready to tally another "W" on the ol' count of wins and losses! With the season winding down, anything but wins is really out of the picture.
Anyway with that being said, the Flames started off to a somewhat rocky start, with struggles of getting our passes to the setter. Also there was some unforced errors when it came time for the Flames to attack the ball. Although our talk and determination got us out of that bind as we came together and started making plays and began to get things flowing. We went onto win the first set and we took the second set without trouble. In the second set great serving and some big swings kept the momentum on our side, but of course we couldn't have done that without our scrappy defense and great serve receivers. The third set the Flames started out somewhat like they were taking a snooze. The Tigers got a jump on us and we had to play catch up for the beginning of the set. Although we didn't give up. We kept together and began to wake up to win the third and final set. WOO! Next up, Peru State.
For all of those who came and watched us, thanks! For all of you who didn't, you missed out! But really, thanks to all of you who support us! We really appreciate it!
