PREP VOLLEYBALL: Clark Fork takes down Genesis Prep for senior night, homecoming win
MAX OSWALD | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 10 months, 1 week AGO
I grew up in the small town of Orwigsburg, Pa., where I resided all of my life before moving to Sandpoint. I attended Blue Mountain High School, where I participated in cross country and track and field, a sport that I ended up falling in love with. I went on to attend and run for DeSales University (with other brief stints at Susquehanna University and Elizabethtown College) and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sport communication with a minor in sport management. I remember just how great it made me feel when I was mentioned in my hometown newspaper. I want to be able to give that feeling to every athlete in Bonner County, no matter how big or small their accomplishments are. As an athlete myself, I know how many hours of work are put in on a daily basis, and that hard work deserves to be recognized. It is my goal to cover as much of the Bulldogs, Spartans and Wampus Cats as I can. I want to work with every athlete, parent, coach, administrator and the community to ensure the best stories are published. | October 8, 2025 4:20 PM
Clark Fork 3, Genesis Prep 0
CLARK FORK — Freshman Kiylah Anderson served up a career-high 10 aces, surpassing 60 aces on the season with the performance, senior Piper Scarlett added six aces of her own, and the Lady Cats totaled 30 aces altogether in a 2A Scenic Idaho Conference sweep of the Lady Jaguars (25-12, 25-13, 25-9) on Tuesday night at Clark Fork High.
Freshman Vanessa Rogier chipped in a team-high nine kills and five aces of her own while junior Nora-Jean Hoy registered five kills and four aces for Clark Fork, which closed the first set on a 15-6 run, started the second set on an 8-0 Anderson serving run, and closed out the third set with a 15-2 run.
"Your body naturally reflects what you receive from the other team — it's an active discipline to better the ball and put it into your team's system and pace — I think we did a lot better with that tonight," Clark Fork High head coach Lyndsie Kiebert-Carey said. "They were all really hungry to prove that they're capable of playing at a high level regardless of the type of system that was coming at them."
Anderson recorded a team-high 19 assists, senior Aurora Lane had four kills, senior Azlyn Anderson had three aces and junior Ella Beaman produced two aces for the Lady Cats in what was a homecoming game that also served as the team's senior night.
"When I think of these seniors, I think of the concept of 'loving the work'," coach Kiebert-Carey said of her dedicated trio that is Anderson, Lane and Scarlett. "You can love the outcomes, but it's the people who love to show up and work in the offseason and for their teammates outside of volleyball that makes them good leaders."
Rogier and Hoy reached 100 kills on the season while Scarlett reached 100 digs in the winning effort for Clark Fork (8-7), which will round out the regular season when they head to Bonners Ferry for a non-league matchup Thursday.

Offensively, junior Raygn Turner had six kills, senior Aleigha Jensen and junior Rylee Dixon four each, and senior Toni Marinello two kills of her own for Priest River, which captured a four-point second set win over the undefeated Wildcats, who they lost to 3-0 earlier season.
