That could be harder than it sounds, as Valier will once again lose two starters, only this time the loss may be even more detrimental to the squad.<br>Along with Brophy, the team s most-valuable-player last season, the Lady Panthers said goodbye to their three-year starting setter Hayley Powers. Their one-two combination was a wondeful asset to the team, and Hofstad will have the complicated task of working to adequately replace them by making her team more defensively minded.  This team has a goal to make it back to the state tournament, says the coach,  To do that, we will have to be a lot quicker, and be a scrappier team instead of a power team. BFS dot drill helps with that. <br>No matter what the future holds for this team, they have experienced the sweet success that comes with working to be better, faster, and stronger. Nothing can overshadow the accomplishments last season s team made; those will live forever. Instead it s the Valier Volleyball Team s mission to justify those achievements by using their determination to work even harder next season.oom during the Christmas break. That was a 5-3-1 week, and they were all setting records and didn t want to miss out. They really believed in the program and thought that this was the best way to get bigger, faster and stronger. That got Kappelmeier to thinking.<br> I remembered when the season ended I had asked my coaches for any ideas to improve the team, and one of the suggestons was to ave the kids earn their way onto the team.  In the past we didn t cut anybody---if a kid wanted to come out for football he was going to play. So at the end of February I told the kids that from Memorial Day until the first day of practice in mid-August, to make the team each one of them had to put in 48 hours of training---in the weight room or on the field running or doing plyos or agility work. <br>When two-a-days started and the media came out with its pre-season predictions, Kappelmeier found no mention of High Point High School. True to tradition, the Wildcats were expected to lose.<br>Their opening game was against Sparta, a team that was supposed to be one of the contenders for the league title. High Point beat them 10-3. Says Kappelmeier,  It was a very tough, physical game. And although we made some big mistakes on offense in the fourth quarter, they couldn t do a thing against our defense. We were simply physically stronger than they were. <br>Amazingly, the streak continued and the Wildcats victories started piling up. The fans poured into the stands, the crowds grew larger each week. By week eight the Wildcats were 6-1 and up against Pope John High School from Sparta. Pope John was coming into the game undefeated, and High Point needed to beat them to at least share the league title. But there was added incentive.  The previous year they had beaten us 5213, and threw at the end. With more than 2000 fans cheering them on, the Wildcats earned their vindication with a 24-14 victory.<br>The last regular season game was against the team from Vernon, which had beaten the Wildcats 34-6 the previous year and had shared the league title. Vernon also had a larger talent pool of athletes as they had over 500 more students enrolled than High Point. But you don t win titles on paper, and the ferocious Wildcats ran, passed, blocked and tackled their way to a 28-10 win and a berth in the state playoffs.<br>The first game of the playoffs was against Northern Highlands High School in Allendale.
