Volleyball Season Starts Thursday Night

ELGIN — Inside the gymnasiums in this town, a high school volleyball team is taking shape which could surprise foes this year.

Elgin Public-Pope John will play volleyball together for the first time ever. 

What began last year as a winter and spring sports co-op comes full circle this week when the two schools compete together in fall sports.

Under the tutelage of Tina Thiele-Blecher and assistants Emily Borer (head coach at Pope John last year) and Sandi Henn. 

The fruits of their labors will be on display Thursday night when the team competes at a double triangular at Wheeler-Chambers to be played in Bartlett at 5 p.m.

The Wolfpack will take the court with plenty of experience, albeit on two separate teams.

Coach Thiele-Blecher has four players from Elgin High who started one year ago (Michelle Bauer, Ashley Bode, Brieann Grosserode and Jessica Heithoff) and two from Pope John (Lauren Selting and Carey Eischeid).

Wolfpack Opens Football Season Friday Night

ELGIN — A new chapter is about to be written into Elgin’s storied past of football tradition. 

Having tasted gridiron success separately for years, Elgin High and Pope John Central Catholic combine as the Wolfpack this season.

Coach Carlie Wells begins his 11th year as head coach, the first at the helm of the Wolfpack. Together with assistants’ Mark Dwyer, Randy Eisenhauer, Brad Cornell and Steve Busteed, the Wolfpack will compete in Class D-1 and will kickoff the season Friday night at home against the Creighton Bulldogs. 

The Bulldogs opened the season last week by defeating Clearwater-Orchard.

“We do have a difficult schedule to start with but I believe playing this type of competition will prepare us for later in the season,” Wells said. Aside from Creighton, other home games this year will be against Osmond, Burwell, and Niobrara-Verdigre. 

Away games will be against Fullerton, West Boyd, Clearwater-Orchard (Orchard) and at North Central.

Borer, Dwyers Chosen as ‘Volunteers of the Year’ at St. Boniface

The St. Boniface / St. Bonaventure Parish Picnic was held August 21st on the St. Boniface grounds. 

A large number of parishioners were in attendance to enjoy a pork bar-b-que meal sponsored by the Stewardship Committee with assistance from the Altar Society. 

The St. Boniface Stewardship Committee unveiled their selection for the 2009-10 Volunteer of the Year. 

This year two awards were granted. 

Mark & Julie Dwyer were chosen for the many ways they give of their musical talent to the parish. 

They have provided vocal and guitar music for the parish for nearly 35 years, as well as serving as cantor for the choir, and playing for wakes, weddings, and school Masses. 

The Dwyers help coordinate the Children’s Choir and have provided entertainment through the years for many parish social events. 

Gary Borer was chosen to be awarded with the Volunteer of the Year for over 15 years of cleaning snow from the parish, school and gym parking lots with his tractor. He was always the first to arrive on scene after the many snow events during those years.
