Cass volley falls to Oak Hill in four
CONVERSE — Oak Hill outlasted Cass in four competitive sets in volleyball Thursday, 25-22, 25-21, 25-27, 25-18.
Abbey Hileman made an impact at the net for Cass with five blocks and four kills. Maci Garland had nine kills and served five aces. Haley Miller had 10 digs and Dixie Wagoner nine.
“I felt like this match we battled,” Cass coach Katie Cowell said. “We came ready to play and Oak Hill was very scrappy. Both teams served tough so it was a lot of out-of-system play. It was back and forth all night. I am very proud of how our girls played.
“I felt like Maci had her most consistent match of the season and took some really great swings from the back row, and Abbey was a beast at the net.”

The schedule for today’s Cass County cross country meet at Logansport is the varsity girls race starts at 8:05 a.m., the varsity boys at 8:35, the junior high girls at 9:05 and the junior high boys at 9:35.
Baylor, Gonzaga players to get paid
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Baylor and Gonzaga will meet in a men’s basketball game in South Dakota on Dec. 2 and organizers will pay players on both teams who agree to help promote the game.
Complete Sports Management and Range Sports announced this week that it would put on the game at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls.
Baylor and Gonzaga will meet for the seventh time, and first since the Bears beat the Bulldogs in the 2021 national championship game.
The game is an opportunity for players to cash in on their celebrity under name, image and likeness (NIL) rules. Matt Haberman, a spokesman for the organizers, said players would be paid for participating in “tune-in to the game” promotions on the network that televises the game.
Haberman said he couldn’t disclose the amount of payment each player would receive. Organizers were still seeking a television partner Thursday.
