Woman of the House

Take a listen on the one who really runs the Conroy house. Remember that episode with Coach Conroy, well this is his better half! Rachel was a collegiate softball at McCook Community College and has also dipped her toes in coaches as well at her alma mater of MCC. 
After you listen to this episode, let us know what Conroy you would want to be coached by...
 

Coach It All

Staci Blomstedt is a NCAA DI BYU Alumni, small business owner, mom, wife and still has time to coach every sport her kids participate in. 
And let's not forget she is an avid runner, who wins every Republican River Fitness run in the area....usually right beside her or in front you will find one of her children. 
Take a listen and don't forget to leave us a review! 
Love, 
Hayley & Lena

Coach Kalinski

Lineman, father, husband and in his spare time he is a wrestling coach. Not only does he help out with the high school here in McCook, but he also helps run the McCook Wrestling Club.
You will hear the fact that Lena and myself know about wrestling and we learned a bit, but mostly we just listened since he was speaking a foreign language to us the whole time. 
Great week to be a Bison though, best of luck to the McCook Bison Football team AND the Lady Indian Volleyball team as they had to the Region 9 volleyball tournament, with the one and only Cal Siegfried behind the wheel! 

Mr. Cal Siegfried

Ever wonder who gets the MCC athletes from point A to point B? Well, here is our first episode with one of our trusty bus drivers. 
Not only does he drive a bus though, Cal has many things up his sleeve, which you will soon hear about if you listen to this episode. 
So, sit back, relax and listen to Cal Siegfried of McCook, NE!

Meet the Thatchers

This is a fun and outgoing episode of our very first 'couple.' And as in couple, I mean married couple, not just two friends...well they were probably friends first and now friends for life. 
Anyways, two very driven and athletic humans that have so much more to tell than this 45 minutes that we had with them. 
Welcome Thomas and Savanna Thatcher!!!!!! 
Fun Facts:
Savanna Noyes-Thatcher was a DI volleyball player and then continued her volleyball career internationally after her time at KU. 
Thomas Thatcher has a resume longer than the space given here. He was a Marine Sniper, Crossfit Coach, MMA fighter...and so much more. 
 

Kobza & Koebel

Since we are both such a bundle of joy and have so much to talk about, we decided to take over the spotlight for a week. 
We enjoyed it so much we may start doing it monthly! 
Yours Truly, 
Kobza - MCC Head Volleyball Coach
Koebel - St.Pats JH Head Volleyball Coach
