By JANET HART LEONARDIve always said when you have a
child they not onlywrap you aroundtheir little fingerbut also they wrapthemselves aroundyour heart Its justthe way it is
Watching Leahwrap Emily intodoing what shewants her Mommyto do makes me
smile She is so like her MommyA few days ago Emily and Leah and
Aiden were at our house when we alldecided to walk uptown for the soup cookoff
Emily thought she would drive incase almost four year old Leah didntwant to walk back to our house
Leah has a way of convincing herMommy that her legs get tired and sheneeds picked up and carried I just smileas Emily lifts her up on her hip and offthey go I tell Leah that she is too big tobe carried She smiles and says no Imnot I just need my Mommy to carry me
Emily drove while GrandChuckAiden and Leah and I walked skippedhopped and ran the somewhat six blocksto the courthouse square Leah never oncecomplaineduntil she saw her MommyShe reached up and said I need up AsEmily picked her up to stand in line Leahlooked over her Mommys shoulder andsmiled at me I knew what that smile wassaying I saw the same smile on herMommy some thirty-one years ago whenEmily was four
Back then Emily could convince meof about anything with her sweet smileand pleading words Just one more storyMommy just one more drink of watercan we stay just a little longer Just JustJust
Though a little girl be tiny believeme she can be a force with which to bereckoned The word just pushes abutton in a weak place of a mothers heart
Today Emily is not only my daughterbut a best friend She can make me smilewith just a simple phone call to sayWanna do lunch As she shares herthoughts with me I realize just howimportant those moments were when shewas little and in control She knew herMommy would always be there for herI would always pick her up
Today I pick her up with words butthe feelings are still the same Its simple
The just of it

By CHARLES E SCHMIDTAs leader of the nationrsquos largest
veterans serviceorganization I amfrequently asked whoThe AmericanLegion is supporting inthis yearrsquos presidentialelection My answer issimple ldquoVeteransrdquoAnd by that answer Iam not referring to acandidatersquos militaryservice (or lack
thereof) but to his or her proposals onissues such as VA health care a strongnational defense and border security
Sometimes if the questioner is unawareof our nonpartisanship a follow-up is askedalong the lines of ldquowho does the Legionreally support Trump or Hillaryrdquo Myanswer is the same ldquoThe American Legionsupports veteransrdquo
While a lot of organizations claimnonpartisanship it is a mandate that isenshrined in The American LegionrsquosConstitution and is backed up by theexamples set forth by our World War Iveteran founders
During one of the earliest meetings ofThe American Legion in 1919 a movementwas afoot to nominate Theodore RooseveltJr as our first national commander AWorld War I hero and the son of a formerpresident ldquoTR Jrrdquo was widely perceivedto have political ambitions of his own andpossibly follow in his fatherrsquos footsteps tothe White House A term as nationalcommander would be a nice steppingstonefor the young Republican
But Roosevelt would have none of itOver shouts of ldquoWe Want TeddyrdquoRoosevelt told the delegates ldquoI wish towithdraw my name for a number ofreasonshellipWe are gathered together for avery high purpose I want every Americanthrough the length and breadth of this landto realize that there is not a man in thiscaucus who is seeking anything for himselfpersonally but that he is simply workingfor the good of the entire situationrdquo
Roosevelt knew that the best way forThe American Legion to advance its pillarsof fighting for a strong national defense
caring for veterans establishing wholesomeyouth programs and promotingAmericanism was to avoid partisanship andpolitical labels
While many Democrats Republicansand Independents have been active inThe American Legion throughout ourhistory the organization is only beholden toldquoGod and Countryrdquo the two entities thatare emblazoned on the back of everymembership card We endorse no politicaloffice seeker nor any political party Weoperate no political action committee andcontribute to no campaign
This does not mean that we are notengaged in the democratic process Farfrom it During election years we routinelyinvite the Republican and Democraticnominees for president to address ournational convention Only time constraintsprevent us from inviting the numerousindependent and third party candidates aswell
The American Legion is concerned thatthe candidates have barely uttered a wordabout veteransrsquo issues during any of thepresidential or vice presidential debatesThis comes at a time when an estimated 20veterans a day commit suicide more than80000 veterans have waited five years orlonger to have their claims appeals decidedand problems abound with the muchballyhooed Veterans Choice program
Moreover ISIS North Korea IranChina and Russia dominate headlineswhile lawmakers and the White Housecontinue to fund our military at pre-WorldWar II levels Recent terrorist attacks byimmigrants in Washington state New YorkCity and Minnesota demonstrate that thegovernment still has some deadly holes inits vetting process
Veterans care deeply about the securityof this country If they didnrsquot theywouldnrsquot have served In our all-volunteerforce the care and well-being of theseveterans is the cost of war and fielding astrong defense
The American Legion is not interestedin which candidate ldquowinsrdquo on election dayWe are instead encouraging candidates tofollow Rooseveltrsquos example and work forldquothe good of the entire situationrdquo
When that happens America wins

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorWhat would be the biggest shock to
come out of this weekends Sectional 8volleyball tournament at Fishers A teamwinning all of its matches without the lossof a set
But thats just what Westfield did TheShamrocks put together two solidperformances Saturday sweepingNoblesville 25-18 25-19 27-25 in thesemi-finals then upsetting Class 4A No 7Carmel 25-21 25-21 25-20 in thechampionship
The sectional title was the first forWestfield since 2011 and its fifth overallThe Shamrocks will now host the regionalchampionship at 7 pm Tuesday taking onZionsville
I felt like our girls and they executedour game plan to a T said Shamrockscoach Michelle Mapes And I couldnt askfor a better day
Westfield got on top early in the firstset jumping ahead 9-4 Abigail Huser hitthree kills while Natalie Ravenell put downa kill to put her team up by five points
Carmel cut the Shamrocks lead to11-10 with Mo Armstrong hitting threekills of her own and Morgan Seaman hada successful spike as well But Westfieldwas able to respond whenever the Houndsgot too close Ravenell ended Carmels runwith a kill and Lienne Miller had a pair ofgood shots as well Huser gave the Rocksthe set on a kill
The second set was much tighter in itsfirst half with no team leading by morethan two points It wasnt until the score was19-all that Westfield was able to pull awayHuser served an ace to start a run of fourunanswered points Carmel closed to within23-21 but Ravenell put the set away witha pair of kills
The Shamrocks again jumped out to anearly lead in the third set first getting ahead4-1 then 9-4 then 12-7 The Greyhoundsgot as close as 14-13 but Westfield wasable to stay in front by two or three pointsafter that
With her team ahead 23-19 Husersmacked a kill to get the Rocks tochampionship point Carmel saved onethanks to a kill from Alexandria Hicks but
Huser converted the second opportunitywith another kill She had 15 kills on thenight
I told Caroline (Sinicki) to set me onthat ball so I really wanted to finish it saidHuser I wanted the imprint to know thatI was the winning kill and Im here to makea difference at Westfield
Huser was all over the place for theShamrocks She also had 12 digs 35blocks and two aces Ravenell had a solidgame as well with eight kills and severalblocks Sinicki handed out 29 assists andMiller served two aces as well
To be honest I felt confident from thevery start said Ravenell I just felt likewe were playing as a team the entire daythroughout this entire tournament and I justfelt like we were going to come out and wewere going to do what we were supposedto do
For the Greyhounds Armstrong had 11kills while Bonnie Bostic got nine kills andtwo blocks Seaman handed out 31 assistsmade 12 digs and had two blocks as wellSophie Oliphant had 14 digs
Westfield played great you got to givethem credit for doing that said Carmelcoach Adam Havice My girls foughtThey never gave up they didnt quitTheyre a good group of kids and Im luckyto be their coach But Westfield got ustoday
SEMI-FINALSJust to get to the final Carmel had to
get past No 3-ranked HamiltonSoutheastern in the second semi-final of theday The Greyhounds did so in a hair-raising five-set match 28-26 20-25 27-2518-25 17-15
We beat them the very first match ofthe season just like this so we knew it wasgoing to be a battle said Havice Theyrea really good team Theyre well-coachedThey have a bunch of really competitivegood girls
The tone was set early for how close thematch would be as neither team led bymore than two points Carmel had four setpoints but HSE erased the first three ofthem Finally Hicks hit a kill on the fourthset point to get the Greyhounds the set

In all Armstrong hit 21 kills withBostic putting down 15 and Hicks getting14 Hicks was incredible at the net witheight blocks Carmel had 16 blocks as ateam Seaman dished out 59 assists
Oliphant made 28 digs with Hicks getting20
Our blocking was a little off tonightsaid Havice It came up big when itmattered Which is important And ourdefense was off but they also came up bigwhen it mattered and made adjustmentsthroughout the game which was really funto watch as a coach to see kids make realpositive adjustments
For the Royals Phillips hit 28 kills withKane smacking 12 kills Caroline Kirchmer
and Jones both hit eight kills and King hadfive
Kenzie Hinshaw handed out 54 assistsand made 19 digs as well Olivia Burgessled the digs with 20 Jones and King bothhad five blocks Kane Anne Kleinrichertand Sarah Chastain all served three aces
I thought it was a hotly contested matchon both sides said HSE coach JasonYoung Obviously disappointing to comeout short today but Carmel did a nice jobwith their outsides getting kills when theyneeded them

By CHARLES E SCHMIDTAs leader of the nationrsquos largest
veterans serviceorganization I amfrequently asked whoThe AmericanLegion is supporting inthis yearrsquos presidentialelection My answer issimple ldquoVeteransrdquoAnd by that answer Iam not referring to acandidatersquos militaryservice (or lack
thereof) but to his or her proposals onissues such as VA health care a strongnational defense and border security
Sometimes if the questioner is unawareof our nonpartisanship a follow-up is askedalong the lines of ldquowho does the Legionreally support Trump or Hillaryrdquo Myanswer is the same ldquoThe American Legionsupports veteransrdquo
While a lot of organizations claimnonpartisanship it is a mandate that isenshrined in The American LegionrsquosConstitution and is backed up by theexamples set forth by our World War Iveteran founders
During one of the earliest meetings ofThe American Legion in 1919 a movementwas afoot to nominate Theodore RooseveltJr as our first national commander AWorld War I hero and the son of a formerpresident ldquoTR Jrrdquo was widely perceivedto have political ambitions of his own andpossibly follow in his fatherrsquos footsteps tothe White House A term as nationalcommander would be a nice steppingstonefor the young Republican
But Roosevelt would have none of itOver shouts of ldquoWe Want TeddyrdquoRoosevelt told the delegates ldquoI wish towithdraw my name for a number ofreasonshellipWe are gathered together for avery high purpose I want every Americanthrough the length and breadth of this landto realize that there is not a man in thiscaucus who is seeking anything for himselfpersonally but that he is simply workingfor the good of the entire situationrdquo
Roosevelt knew that the best way forThe American Legion to advance its pillarsof fighting for a strong national defense
caring for veterans establishing wholesomeyouth programs and promotingAmericanism was to avoid partisanship andpolitical labels
While many Democrats Republicansand Independents have been active inThe American Legion throughout ourhistory the organization is only beholden toldquoGod and Countryrdquo the two entities thatare emblazoned on the back of everymembership card We endorse no politicaloffice seeker nor any political party Weoperate no political action committee andcontribute to no campaign
This does not mean that we are notengaged in the democratic process Farfrom it During election years we routinelyinvite the Republican and Democraticnominees for president to address ournational convention Only time constraintsprevent us from inviting the numerousindependent and third party candidates aswell
The American Legion is concerned thatthe candidates have barely uttered a wordabout veteransrsquo issues during any of thepresidential or vice presidential debatesThis comes at a time when an estimated 20veterans a day commit suicide more than80000 veterans have waited five years orlonger to have their claims appeals decidedand problems abound with the muchballyhooed Veterans Choice program
Moreover ISIS North Korea IranChina and Russia dominate headlineswhile lawmakers and the White Housecontinue to fund our military at pre-WorldWar II levels Recent terrorist attacks byimmigrants in Washington state New YorkCity and Minnesota demonstrate that thegovernment still has some deadly holes inits vetting process
Veterans care deeply about the securityof this country If they didnrsquot theywouldnrsquot have served In our all-volunteerforce the care and well-being of theseveterans is the cost of war and fielding astrong defense
The American Legion is not interestedin which candidate ldquowinsrdquo on election dayWe are instead encouraging candidates tofollow Rooseveltrsquos example and work forldquothe good of the entire situationrdquo
When that happens America wins

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorWhat would be the biggest shock to
come out of this weekends Sectional 8volleyball tournament at Fishers A teamwinning all of its matches without the lossof a set
But thats just what Westfield did TheShamrocks put together two solidperformances Saturday sweepingNoblesville 25-18 25-19 27-25 in thesemi-finals then upsetting Class 4A No 7Carmel 25-21 25-21 25-20 in thechampionship
The sectional title was the first forWestfield since 2011 and its fifth overallThe Shamrocks will now host the regionalchampionship at 7 pm Tuesday taking onZionsville
I felt like our girls and they executedour game plan to a T said Shamrockscoach Michelle Mapes And I couldnt askfor a better day
Westfield got on top early in the firstset jumping ahead 9-4 Abigail Huser hitthree kills while Natalie Ravenell put downa kill to put her team up by five points
Carmel cut the Shamrocks lead to11-10 with Mo Armstrong hitting threekills of her own and Morgan Seaman hada successful spike as well But Westfieldwas able to respond whenever the Houndsgot too close Ravenell ended Carmels runwith a kill and Lienne Miller had a pair ofgood shots as well Huser gave the Rocksthe set on a kill
The second set was much tighter in itsfirst half with no team leading by morethan two points It wasnt until the score was19-all that Westfield was able to pull awayHuser served an ace to start a run of fourunanswered points Carmel closed to within23-21 but Ravenell put the set away witha pair of kills
The Shamrocks again jumped out to anearly lead in the third set first getting ahead4-1 then 9-4 then 12-7 The Greyhoundsgot as close as 14-13 but Westfield wasable to stay in front by two or three pointsafter that
With her team ahead 23-19 Husersmacked a kill to get the Rocks tochampionship point Carmel saved onethanks to a kill from Alexandria Hicks but
Huser converted the second opportunitywith another kill She had 15 kills on thenight
I told Caroline (Sinicki) to set me onthat ball so I really wanted to finish it saidHuser I wanted the imprint to know thatI was the winning kill and Im here to makea difference at Westfield
Huser was all over the place for theShamrocks She also had 12 digs 35blocks and two aces Ravenell had a solidgame as well with eight kills and severalblocks Sinicki handed out 29 assists andMiller served two aces as well
To be honest I felt confident from thevery start said Ravenell I just felt likewe were playing as a team the entire daythroughout this entire tournament and I justfelt like we were going to come out and wewere going to do what we were supposedto do
For the Greyhounds Armstrong had 11kills while Bonnie Bostic got nine kills andtwo blocks Seaman handed out 31 assistsmade 12 digs and had two blocks as wellSophie Oliphant had 14 digs
Westfield played great you got to givethem credit for doing that said Carmelcoach Adam Havice My girls foughtThey never gave up they didnt quitTheyre a good group of kids and Im luckyto be their coach But Westfield got ustoday
SEMI-FINALSJust to get to the final Carmel had to
get past No 3-ranked HamiltonSoutheastern in the second semi-final of theday The Greyhounds did so in a hair-raising five-set match 28-26 20-25 27-2518-25 17-15
We beat them the very first match ofthe season just like this so we knew it wasgoing to be a battle said Havice Theyrea really good team Theyre well-coachedThey have a bunch of really competitivegood girls
The tone was set early for how close thematch would be as neither team led bymore than two points Carmel had four setpoints but HSE erased the first three ofthem Finally Hicks hit a kill on the fourthset point to get the Greyhounds the set

HSE held off two set points beforeCarmel converted the third one to take theset 27-25 The Hounds jumped ahead 10-7in the fourth set before the Royals cameback and took a 13-12 lead when Bria Kingmade a successful block Southeastern ran
out the set from there capping it with a killby Phillips
Carmel scored four of the last five pointsof the fifth set to win holding off two HSEmatch points in the process Armstrongsace gave the Hounds their own match pointand Hicks won it with a successful block
In all Armstrong hit 21 kills withBostic putting down 15 and Hicks getting14 Hicks was incredible at the net witheight blocks Carmel had 16 blocks as ateam Seaman dished out 59 assists
Oliphant made 28 digs with Hicks getting20
Our blocking was a little off tonightsaid Havice It came up big when itmattered Which is important And ourdefense was off but they also came up bigwhen it mattered and made adjustmentsthroughout the game which was really funto watch as a coach to see kids make realpositive adjustments
For the Royals Phillips hit 28 kills withKane smacking 12 kills Caroline Kirchmer
and Jones both hit eight kills and King hadfive
Kenzie Hinshaw handed out 54 assistsand made 19 digs as well Olivia Burgessled the digs with 20 Jones and King bothhad five blocks Kane Anne Kleinrichertand Sarah Chastain all served three aces
I thought it was a hotly contested matchon both sides said HSE coach JasonYoung Obviously disappointing to comeout short today but Carmel did a nice jobwith their outsides getting kills when theyneeded them
The Shamrocks won the first semi-finalof the day over Noblesville in three setsThe Millers jumped out to a 7-3 lead in thefirst set before Westfield scored the nextfive points and went on to win the set

By CHARLES E SCHMIDTAs leader of the nationrsquos largest
veterans serviceorganization I amfrequently asked whoThe AmericanLegion is supporting inthis yearrsquos presidentialelection My answer issimple ldquoVeteransrdquoAnd by that answer Iam not referring to acandidatersquos militaryservice (or lack
thereof) but to his or her proposals onissues such as VA health care a strongnational defense and border security
Sometimes if the questioner is unawareof our nonpartisanship a follow-up is askedalong the lines of ldquowho does the Legionreally support Trump or Hillaryrdquo Myanswer is the same ldquoThe American Legionsupports veteransrdquo
While a lot of organizations claimnonpartisanship it is a mandate that isenshrined in The American LegionrsquosConstitution and is backed up by theexamples set forth by our World War Iveteran founders
During one of the earliest meetings ofThe American Legion in 1919 a movementwas afoot to nominate Theodore RooseveltJr as our first national commander AWorld War I hero and the son of a formerpresident ldquoTR Jrrdquo was widely perceivedto have political ambitions of his own andpossibly follow in his fatherrsquos footsteps tothe White House A term as nationalcommander would be a nice steppingstonefor the young Republican
But Roosevelt would have none of itOver shouts of ldquoWe Want TeddyrdquoRoosevelt told the delegates ldquoI wish towithdraw my name for a number ofreasonshellipWe are gathered together for avery high purpose I want every Americanthrough the length and breadth of this landto realize that there is not a man in thiscaucus who is seeking anything for himselfpersonally but that he is simply workingfor the good of the entire situationrdquo
Roosevelt knew that the best way forThe American Legion to advance its pillarsof fighting for a strong national defense
caring for veterans establishing wholesomeyouth programs and promotingAmericanism was to avoid partisanship andpolitical labels
While many Democrats Republicansand Independents have been active inThe American Legion throughout ourhistory the organization is only beholden toldquoGod and Countryrdquo the two entities thatare emblazoned on the back of everymembership card We endorse no politicaloffice seeker nor any political party Weoperate no political action committee andcontribute to no campaign
This does not mean that we are notengaged in the democratic process Farfrom it During election years we routinelyinvite the Republican and Democraticnominees for president to address ournational convention Only time constraintsprevent us from inviting the numerousindependent and third party candidates aswell
The American Legion is concerned thatthe candidates have barely uttered a wordabout veteransrsquo issues during any of thepresidential or vice presidential debatesThis comes at a time when an estimated 20veterans a day commit suicide more than80000 veterans have waited five years orlonger to have their claims appeals decidedand problems abound with the muchballyhooed Veterans Choice program
Moreover ISIS North Korea IranChina and Russia dominate headlineswhile lawmakers and the White Housecontinue to fund our military at pre-WorldWar II levels Recent terrorist attacks byimmigrants in Washington state New YorkCity and Minnesota demonstrate that thegovernment still has some deadly holes inits vetting process
Veterans care deeply about the securityof this country If they didnrsquot theywouldnrsquot have served In our all-volunteerforce the care and well-being of theseveterans is the cost of war and fielding astrong defense
The American Legion is not interestedin which candidate ldquowinsrdquo on election dayWe are instead encouraging candidates tofollow Rooseveltrsquos example and work forldquothe good of the entire situationrdquo
When that happens America wins
Country Over Candidates

The sectional title was the first forWestfield since 2011 and its fifth overallThe Shamrocks will now host the regionalchampionship at 7 pm Tuesday taking onZionsville
I felt like our girls and they executedour game plan to a T said Shamrockscoach Michelle Mapes And I couldnt askfor a better day
Westfield got on top early in the firstset jumping ahead 9-4 Abigail Huser hitthree kills while Natalie Ravenell put downa kill to put her team up by five points
Carmel cut the Shamrocks lead to11-10 with Mo Armstrong hitting threekills of her own and Morgan Seaman hada successful spike as well But Westfieldwas able to respond whenever the Houndsgot too close Ravenell ended Carmels runwith a kill and Lienne Miller had a pair ofgood shots as well Huser gave the Rocksthe set on a kill
The second set was much tighter in itsfirst half with no team leading by morethan two points It wasnt until the score was19-all that Westfield was able to pull awayHuser served an ace to start a run of fourunanswered points Carmel closed to within23-21 but Ravenell put the set away witha pair of kills
The Shamrocks again jumped out to anearly lead in the third set first getting ahead4-1 then 9-4 then 12-7 The Greyhoundsgot as close as 14-13 but Westfield wasable to stay in front by two or three pointsafter that
With her team ahead 23-19 Husersmacked a kill to get the Rocks tochampionship point Carmel saved onethanks to a kill from Alexandria Hicks but
Huser converted the second opportunitywith another kill She had 15 kills on thenight
I told Caroline (Sinicki) to set me onthat ball so I really wanted to finish it saidHuser I wanted the imprint to know thatI was the winning kill and Im here to makea difference at Westfield
Huser was all over the place for theShamrocks She also had 12 digs 35blocks and two aces Ravenell had a solidgame as well with eight kills and severalblocks Sinicki handed out 29 assists andMiller served two aces as well
To be honest I felt confident from thevery start said Ravenell I just felt likewe were playing as a team the entire daythroughout this entire tournament and I justfelt like we were going to come out and wewere going to do what we were supposedto do
For the Greyhounds Armstrong had 11kills while Bonnie Bostic got nine kills andtwo blocks Seaman handed out 31 assistsmade 12 digs and had two blocks as wellSophie Oliphant had 14 digs

get past No 3-ranked HamiltonSoutheastern in the second semi-final of theday The Greyhounds did so in a hair-raising five-set match 28-26 20-25 27-2518-25 17-15
We beat them the very first match ofthe season just like this so we knew it wasgoing to be a battle said Havice Theyrea really good team Theyre well-coachedThey have a bunch of really competitivegood girls

come out of this weekends Sectional 8volleyball tournament at Fishers A teamwinning all of its matches without the lossof a set
But thats just what Westfield did TheShamrocks put together two solidperformances Saturday sweepingNoblesville 25-18 25-19 27-25 in thesemi-finals then upsetting Class 4A No 7Carmel 25-21 25-21 25-20 in thechampionship
The sectional title was the first forWestfield since 2011 and its fifth overallThe Shamrocks will now host the regionalchampionship at 7 pm Tuesday taking onZionsville
I felt like our girls and they executedour game plan to a T said Shamrockscoach Michelle Mapes And I couldnt askfor a better day
Westfield got on top early in the firstset jumping ahead 9-4 Abigail Huser hitthree kills while Natalie Ravenell put downa kill to put her team up by five points
Carmel cut the Shamrocks lead to11-10 with Mo Armstrong hitting threekills of her own and Morgan Seaman hada successful spike as well But Westfieldwas able to respond whenever the Houndsgot too close Ravenell ended Carmels runwith a kill and Lienne Miller had a pair ofgood shots as well Huser gave the Rocksthe set on a kill
The second set was much tighter in itsfirst half with no team leading by morethan two points It wasnt until the score was19-all that Westfield was able to pull awayHuser served an ace to start a run of fourunanswered points Carmel closed to within23-21 but Ravenell put the set away witha pair of kills
The Shamrocks again jumped out to anearly lead in the third set first getting ahead4-1 then 9-4 then 12-7 The Greyhoundsgot as close as 14-13 but Westfield wasable to stay in front by two or three pointsafter that
With her team ahead 23-19 Husersmacked a kill to get the Rocks tochampionship point Carmel saved onethanks to a kill from Alexandria Hicks but
Huser converted the second opportunitywith another kill She had 15 kills on thenight
I told Caroline (Sinicki) to set me onthat ball so I really wanted to finish it saidHuser I wanted the imprint to know thatI was the winning kill and Im here to makea difference at Westfield
Huser was all over the place for theShamrocks She also had 12 digs 35blocks and two aces Ravenell had a solidgame as well with eight kills and severalblocks Sinicki handed out 29 assists andMiller served two aces as well
To be honest I felt confident from thevery start said Ravenell I just felt likewe were playing as a team the entire daythroughout this entire tournament and I justfelt like we were going to come out and wewere going to do what we were supposedto do
For the Greyhounds Armstrong had 11kills while Bonnie Bostic got nine kills andtwo blocks Seaman handed out 31 assistsmade 12 digs and had two blocks as wellSophie Oliphant had 14 digs
Westfield played great you got to givethem credit for doing that said Carmelcoach Adam Havice My girls foughtThey never gave up they didnt quitTheyre a good group of kids and Im luckyto be their coach But Westfield got ustoday
SEMI-FINALSJust to get to the final Carmel had to
get past No 3-ranked HamiltonSoutheastern in the second semi-final of theday The Greyhounds did so in a hair-raising five-set match 28-26 20-25 27-2518-25 17-15
We beat them the very first match ofthe season just like this so we knew it wasgoing to be a battle said Havice Theyrea really good team Theyre well-coachedThey have a bunch of really competitivegood girls

But thats just what Westfield did TheShamrocks put together two solidperformances Saturday sweepingNoblesville 25-18 25-19 27-25 in thesemi-finals then upsetting Class 4A No 7Carmel 25-21 25-21 25-20 in thechampionship
The sectional title was the first forWestfield since 2011 and its fifth overallThe Shamrocks will now host the regionalchampionship at 7 pm Tuesday taking onZionsville
I felt like our girls and they executedour game plan to a T said Shamrockscoach Michelle Mapes And I couldnt askfor a better day
Westfield got on top early in the firstset jumping ahead 9-4 Abigail Huser hitthree kills while Natalie Ravenell put downa kill to put her team up by five points
Carmel cut the Shamrocks lead to11-10 with Mo Armstrong hitting threekills of her own and Morgan Seaman hada successful spike as well But Westfieldwas able to respond whenever the Houndsgot too close Ravenell ended Carmels runwith a kill and Lienne Miller had a pair ofgood shots as well Huser gave the Rocksthe set on a kill
The second set was much tighter in itsfirst half with no team leading by morethan two points It wasnt until the score was19-all that Westfield was able to pull awayHuser served an ace to start a run of fourunanswered points Carmel closed to within23-21 but Ravenell put the set away witha pair of kills
The Shamrocks again jumped out to anearly lead in the third set first getting ahead4-1 then 9-4 then 12-7 The Greyhoundsgot as close as 14-13 but Westfield wasable to stay in front by two or three pointsafter that
With her team ahead 23-19 Husersmacked a kill to get the Rocks tochampionship point Carmel saved onethanks to a kill from Alexandria Hicks but
Huser converted the second opportunitywith another kill She had 15 kills on thenight
I told Caroline (Sinicki) to set me onthat ball so I really wanted to finish it saidHuser I wanted the imprint to know thatI was the winning kill and Im here to makea difference at Westfield
Huser was all over the place for theShamrocks She also had 12 digs 35blocks and two aces Ravenell had a solidgame as well with eight kills and severalblocks Sinicki handed out 29 assists andMiller served two aces as well
To be honest I felt confident from thevery start said Ravenell I just felt likewe were playing as a team the entire daythroughout this entire tournament and I justfelt like we were going to come out and wewere going to do what we were supposedto do
For the Greyhounds Armstrong had 11kills while Bonnie Bostic got nine kills andtwo blocks Seaman handed out 31 assistsmade 12 digs and had two blocks as wellSophie Oliphant had 14 digs
Westfield played great you got to givethem credit for doing that said Carmelcoach Adam Havice My girls foughtThey never gave up they didnt quitTheyre a good group of kids and Im luckyto be their coach But Westfield got ustoday
SEMI-FINALSJust to get to the final Carmel had to
get past No 3-ranked HamiltonSoutheastern in the second semi-final of theday The Greyhounds did so in a hair-raising five-set match 28-26 20-25 27-2518-25 17-15
We beat them the very first match ofthe season just like this so we knew it wasgoing to be a battle said Havice Theyrea really good team Theyre well-coachedThey have a bunch of really competitivegood girls
The tone was set early for how close thematch would be as neither team led bymore than two points Carmel had four setpoints but HSE erased the first three ofthem Finally Hicks hit a kill on the fourthset point to get the Greyhounds the set

Oliphant made 28 digs with Hicks getting20
Our blocking was a little off tonightsaid Havice It came up big when itmattered Which is important And ourdefense was off but they also came up bigwhen it mattered and made adjustmentsthroughout the game which was really funto watch as a coach to see kids make realpositive adjustments
For the Royals Phillips hit 28 kills withKane smacking 12 kills Caroline Kirchmer
and Jones both hit eight kills and King hadfive
Kenzie Hinshaw handed out 54 assistsand made 19 digs as well Olivia Burgessled the digs with 20 Jones and King bothhad five blocks Kane Anne Kleinrichertand Sarah Chastain all served three aces
