Scout Troop 221 Serving Breakfast at the Fire Station Today

Kalida, OH · September 12, 2026

The smell of griddles warming at the firehouse is in the air, and there is barely an empty parking spot left near the square. Settle in with a mug of coffee—Saturday's lineup is moving fast.


The Lead

Kalida varsity volleyball pulled off a thriller on the home court, handing previously unbeaten Lincolnview its first defeat of the season in a four-set battle (28-26, 18-25, 25-23, 25-22). The victory pushed the Wildcats to 5-1 on the year and extended their home dominance to 14 wins in their last 15 appearances.

Lincolnview pushed every frame past the 22-point mark, but the Wildcats held steady during late rallies behind 16 kills each from Addilyn Huber and Valarie Romes, anchored by 23 assists from Avery Bruskotter. Carlie Siefker locked down momentum from the service line, landing four crucial aces.

The statement win sets the stage for a quick turnaround this morning: Kalida returns to the floor at 9:00 AM to host North Central in the opening match of the Pioneer Invitational. Fans filling the bleachers today will see whether that momentum carries straight through to an afternoon championship trophy.
