2nd Annual Golf Scramble

The Tates Creek High School Volleyball Booster Club will be conducting their second annual Golf Scramble this fall at High Point Golf Course. 100% of the proceeds from the golf scramble will benefit the Tates Creek High School girl’s volleyball team. As part of this fund-raising event, we are asking local businesses to sponsor a hole or donate a prize.

The Booster Club is a non-profit 501-c3 organization and any donations will be tax deductible. You may sponsor a hole for $50. If you sponsor a hole, we will make a nice 11” X 17” sign advertising your company and place it on the tee box of the hole that you sponsor. If you donate a prize, we will provide a handout to all participants acknowledging your generous contribution.

If you have any questions regarding the golf scramble, please contact Rob Hench via email at thehenches@alltel.net or via telephone at 859-273-0534. Any support that you could provide will be greatly appreciated.

Here are the forms that you can use for players and sponsors:

District Showdown will be exciting

One thing is certain, two strong teams will win the showdown that occurs on Tuesday. Lafayette, Dunbar, Henry Clay and Tates Creek are all playing well and Henry Clay is at the top as reported by the Herald Leader on Monday:

It took more than 15 years, but Henry Clay was able to do something no other Lexington school has been able to do: win the Jefferson County Invitational volleyball tournament in Louisville.

The No. 11 Devils dropped ninth-ranked Ryle 25-21, 25-22 to win the event. Henry Clay also knocked off ranked teams No. 15 Butler and No. 19 Ballard to win the title.

"It was a great showing for Lexington," Devils Coach Dale Grupe said. "It was fun because all of the Lexington teams were cheering each other on."

Four teams from the same district: No. 14 Paul Dunbar, No. 17 Lafayette, No. 20 Tates Creek and Henry Clay went 16-4 for the weekend. Dunbar finished the tournament in third place. Tates Creek won the silver division and Woodford County took home the bronze title.



District Schedule for Tuesday Night (at Lafayette ):
6:00 Henry Clay vs. Lafayette
7:30 Tates Creek vs. Dunbar

Senior Night

The regular season is so short and so are high school careers. Tates Creek started the season with Abi and Robyn backing up to get an out of bounds serve, colliding, tripping over the back line, and completing synchronized back rolls. The regular season ended by celebrating the careers of the seniors with a win that was punctuated with a serve and a dig from Amber in the back row.

Honoring our Seniors

The emotions of senior day often place the host team at a disadvantage much like a homecoming football game. The win or loss at that final home game is huge, but what we celebrate to a larger extent is the career of the seniors.

Last year's Tates Creek Senior Night game ended up in a loss to Boone County, but the night was celebrating the careers of Katie Davis and Hannah Wheeler.

Last year's Butler University Senior Game ended up in a loss, but Tates Creek Coach Krystal Hendrix finished her career by setting a school block assist record that day with the help of some underclass teammates. One year later, you might ask her if she wanted the win...

November 17, 2006 - Krystal Hendrix Becomes Butler's All-Time Block Assist Leader
November 11, 2006 - Butler Rally Falls Just Short On Senior Day

GO CREEK! We want a win... that represents over 20 years of combined volleyball experience from our Senior leaders.

SENIORS: Megan Owen, Laura Willoughby, Laura Hench, Amber McKinley

Team Pictures were taken by Triple Play Productions this year and forms should be available for all of the girls to make individual orders.

Prepvolleyball Posting

Kentucky’s Bluegrass Area Volleyball Academy (BAVA) 15-1 is off to a nice start, compiling a 17-6 match record so far, which includes a second place finish to SIVC at the BAVA Bash last weekend. Three of the players, Abi Wheeler and Robyn Hench of Tates Creek and Brianna Hill of Dunbar, were varsity starters as freshman last fall. Louisville and Northern Kentucky clubs get the lion’s share of publicity on this site and rightly so given the success they’ve experienced. But keep your eyes out for this team. It may be the one to put Lexington volleyball on the map!

Defensive Dandies, Part I: Gym Dandies

Written by John Tawa

If they can dig it up, they're on this list (provided the coach nominated them, of course).

This is Part I of our Defensive Dandies recognition, which we call "Gym Dandies." The players on this list are full time back row players, both high school and club, who work their butts off during practice and play to help the team at all costs. HONORABLE MENTION

Hannah Wheeler, Sr., Tates Creek (Lexington Kentucky) – Wheeler rewrote the Tates Creek record book for digs in a career. While she played all the way around at times in 2006, she has been a high school libero most of her career. First Team All City and a member of the All District team in 2006, Wheeler will play for Asbury College in the fall, where she should be an immediate impact player.
