Holland Christian volleyball claims district title; Chix held off by No. 7 Hudsonville

JENISON - The Zeeland East volleyball team knew it could hang with No. 7 Hudsonville with a district championship on the line. In the second set, the Chix and Eagles went back-and-forth, neither team leading by more than two the entire set. Tied at 22, the Chix hit one into the net, then Hudsonville's Whitney Swiercz launched a rocket serve right into the top of the net, but its power pushed it over the net where it ended up on the floor for an ace setting up set point. Zeeland East's Lizzie Risdon put down a kill to pull the Chix within on but a kill from Hudsonville's Megan Glass closed the set out and propelled Hudsonville to a 25-18, 25-23, 25-17 win for the Division 1 district title on Thursday, Nov. 5, at Jenison High School.

The real Hope-Calvin football rivalry begins this week in undefeated clash

The introduction to the Hope-Calvin football rivalry has come and gone. This year, the real rivalry begins. The first two years, Calvin didn't have a home stadium and had the expected growing pains that any new program would face. Hope was also the dominant force in the MIAA which has led to a couple of pretty lopsided victories for the Flying Dutch. The rivalry will be different this year. Both teams enter the showdown 7-0, tied for first place in the MIAA after the Knights beat Trine 51-20 on Halloween and Hope similarly crushed Kalamazoo. The win over 6-1 Trine proved that Calvin is for real this year, not just beating mediocre teams. Now the Knights will host Hope for the first time in their very own stadium at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7. Calvin passing attack It has been all about passing for the Knights, who put up 400 yards through the air to quiet the Thunder. They rushed for just 89 yards on 32 carries, but were able to pass at will. Thomas Vaccaro was 23-for-34 passing with four touchdowns. Hunter Hogan and Luke Michmerhuizen each had more than 100 yards receiving. That is a lot to defend.

Nothing small about the play of Zeeland East's undersized middle hitter, who heads to Calvin

ZEELAND - Bri Cole is easy to overlook. She isn't the best player on her team, nor is she the tallest hitter on her team. In fact her own setter is taller than her. But the 5-foot, 7-inch Zeeland East middle hitter quickly makes opponents pay for overlooking her. "A challenge for me is being underestimated just by my height. But after I stuff a 6-2 girl, I've caught people's attention," Cole said. "I love the position with its different hitting spots and lateral movements. Although I can end up running all over the court and ending up in some awkward spots, I wouldn't change it for the world." Cole has had some huge blocks on some of the state's best hitters this season, showcasing her leaping ability to go along with her net skills. Those moments caught the eyes of colleges and Cole decided to stay close to home and join perennial NCAA Division III powerhouse Calvin University in Grand Rapids. More: Zeeland East's Bri Cole, Ava Geerlings voted Sentinel athlete of the week "I just knew as soon as I stepped on campus that that was my home," Cole said.
