Mount Pulaski defeats Riverton

Teams join forces raising money for beloved official

 

[January 31, 2020]  Local volleyball official Jim Michaels was emotional Tuesday night as Mount Pulaski Volleyball coach Donna Dulle presented him with a check for $740.27. The check was a donation to the Lincoln Land Area Officials Scholarship fund in memory of Michaels' late wife. Michaels' wife passed away unexpectedly in November of 2019 and Dulle and her volleyball family wasted no time planning a benefit that featured a pork chop dinner by donation ahead of the volleyball matches. Every year a scholarship is given to a graduating senior.

On the court the Mount Pulaski Honeybears Eighth Grade Volleyball Team defeated Riverton 26-24, 18-25 and 25-11.

The Honeybears Seventh Grade Team won 25-14 and 25-15.
