ARSS, Volleyball
Congratulations are in order for Lady Pirate Volleyball’s Kylie McConnell after she broke the school record for career blocks against Henryville last night. Kylie now has 115 blocks (and counting) in her career which surpasses the previous record of 112 held by Emalee Craven from 2014-16.
Kylie also holds the record for most service aces in a match with 10 that she set against Austin last season, and she is just four away from her former teammate Kayleigh Smith’s 2017-20 112 career aces.
Good luck to Kylie and the Lady Pirates at Madison tonight and for the remainder of the season.

Located in downtown Winona Lake, Indiana, Grace College is an evangelical Christian college housing six schools: The School of Arts and Sciences, The School of Behavioral Sciences, The School of Business, The School of Education, The School of Ministry Studies, and The School of Professional & Online Education.

Crowe, who recorded over 1,000 assists in volleyball during her career at Charlestown and who won a sectional and placed 5th in the regional in the discus will major in nursing. When asked about her choice to play at Grace College with the Lancers, Crowe said, “I chose Grace College because they are a family based community. They strive on building relationships with students and making sure they feel at home. Playing college volleyball has always been my dream since third grade and I knew I could not pass up that opportunity. Also being a top competitor for track, coming in as a freshman made my decision easier.”

Charlestown volleyball coach Tammy Nuxoll shared the following sentiments on Crowe: “Lanae’ is a very hard worker on and off the court. I know that she will excel in the classroom and will be able to handle being a multi-sport college athlete. Lanae’ is a versatile player that will put in the work it takes to make positive contributions to the volleyball program.”

Charlestown track coach Jerry Doyle added, “It’s great to see Lanae have the opportunity to pursue her dream of being a multi-sport athlete in college! She is one of the hardest workers, and most dedicated athletes that has come through the Track & Field program in my time as a Coach! She works on her own time, year-round , on shot and discus, and has worked hard in the gym to get stronger. I look forward to this season, as well as following her in her college career! No doubt she will be a success in both athletics and academics!

The Charlestown High School athletic department and WPMQ, The Pirate Network congratulate Lanae’ and wish her a healthy and prosperous future as a Grace College Lancer.

McConnell Sets New Single Match Ace Record for Lady Pirate Volleyball

ARSS, Volleyball
Congratulations to Lady Pirate Volleyball standout Kylie McConnell. In last night’s Mid Southern Conference contest at Austin, she broke the single match ace record with ten service aces. The record was previously held by Kayleigh Smith and Savannah McClelland who each had nine.
The Lady Pirates were victorious in the five set match 23-25, 19-25, 25-11, 25-9, 15-7. According to Coach Tammy Nuxoll, “There were two hard fought matches won tonight by the JV and Varsity. Austin started the first two sets strong, and we struggled at different times with our passing, serving and offense. It just seemed when we did one area better another area fell apart. In the third set Kayleigh Smith got our offense rolling and then enabled other hitters to start getting better opportunities. Kylie McConnell also got on a great serving run in the third set to help our efforts. Once we started to get things going in the third set, we were able to settle down and play much stronger as a team. I was proud of the way we hung on and fought back after losing the first two sets.”
The Lady Pirates host Scottsburg on Thursday in another MSC matchup.

Lady Pirate Volleyball Tames the Lady Mustangs in Three Sets

ARSS, Volleyball

Last night the Lady Pirate volleyball team hosted the neighboring Lady Mustangs of New Washington. Both teams came into the contest hunting their second win of this early season as Charlestown was 1-3 with a win over MSC rival Clarksville and losses to Jeffersonville, Corydon, and defending state champion Brownstown. New Washington entered 1-2 with a win over South Decatur and losses to Greensburg and Southwestern.

Lanae’ Crowe and Hannah Baker defend the net as Emma Obermeier awaits the hit.

The Lady Pirates came out strong in the first set and played well, easily capturing the 25-8 victory.  Coach Nuxoll credited Emma Obermeier and Abbi East with a few good serving runs in that set.  In the second set, the Lady Pirates took a 6-0 lead before giving up seven straight. Nuxoll said, “I think we got into our own heads a little bit and struggled making our own errors. New Washington isn’t a team to back down and kept coming at us.” The Lady Pirates then gathered their composure and went on to win that set 25-18.  More strong serving from Emma Obermeier as well as Macy Vaughn in the third set helped pace the victory, 25-11.

Kayleigh Smith and Lanae’ Crowe led the offense with 7 kills each, and Kylie McConnell and Kenzie Baker each contributed 4 kills. Maci Vaughn led the defense with 11 digs and also had 2 aces. Emma Obermeier ended the night with 5 aces and also contributed 8 assists.

Coach Nuxoll concluded saying, “We hope to carry the positive play from tonight into our match at Henryville tomorrow.” Henryville is defending its sectional title this season and will enter the contest 5-2. Most recently they lost 2-1 to Hauser in the championship game of their own invitational.

Charlestown JV also won 25-12, 25-22.

Tuesday’s Athletic Results Yield Two Big Lady Pirate Victories

ARSS, Cross Country, Volleyball

The Lady Pirate Cross Country team had three pairs team up to place 2nd, 6th, and 12th to win medals, edge out Silver Creek 20-23, and earn the Darrell Kingery Hokum Karem Championship! Skylar Cochran and Ashley Wight were the second place finishers; Laney Hawkins and Jessie McCoy finished 6th; Jackie McCoy and Tina Ylipaa finished 12th.   Coach Doyle said, “This is a special meet for us to win, as Coach Kingery was a coach that I always looked up to and he was a true mentor to me! ” Coach Kingery was a beloved, long time cross country coach from Clarksville and Silver Creek who was well known throughout the community. A tragic accident while he was riding a bicycle last fall claimed his life way too soon. It was very fitting for this event to be named after an iconic coach.

The Lady Pirate volleyball team sailed away from New Washington with a win in four games. The Lady Mustangs came out fighting and claimed the first game 20-25.   Coach Tammy Nuxoll quoted,”We did not play as a team in the first set and it really showed on the court. They were able to pull it together in the second set and played more as a team for the remainder of the match. We were able to put together some strong serving and setters made good decisions on the court.” The Lady Pirates went on to win the next three to seal the match 25-17. 25-23, 25-12. They will face Henryville at home September 5th.
