Curse or no, Woodland”s Pats are swept in volleyball
For reasons unknown, the Pioneer Patriots volleyball team is cursed.
While it certainly isn”t the worst curse of all time, the Patriots are haunted by the second round of the playoffs.
For the last four years, Pioneer has not been able to get past it.
Thursday night proved no different as the visiting No. 5 Placer Hillgals swept Pioneer, 26-24, 25-19, 25-13.
After being eliminated from the Division IIISac-Joaquin Section playoffs, PHS coach Dana Anglin asked her team if they had a “monkey on their back?”
“”If any team was capable of going past the second round it was you guys,”” Anglin told her fourth-seeded Patriots. “I don”t know if it was nerves or what.”
In the first set, Pioneer came back from a 14-11 deficit when Sophie Rominger”s kill forced a 24-24 tie, but the Patriots came up short when it mattered most. The Patriots also had 11 unforced errors in the set.
“We were a pretty evenly matched team and we could have beaten them if we played our game,” Rominger said, who felt the Patriots didn”t click well throughout the night. “We had too many unforced errors.”
Following a kill by freshman Ashton Kershner in the second set, Pioneer lead 12-10, then uncharacteristically fell apart to lose the set by six points.
The Hillgals jumped out to an 8-1 led in the third set, and the Patriots never had a chance to rally back.
The Patriots go-to players, namely Rominger and Linnea King had eight and five kills, respectively, after combining for 33 in Tuesday”s win against the No. 13 Whitney Wildcats.
“When we found them, they blocked us,” Anglin said
Rominger, who also had one block, two aces, and 10 digs was named Tri-County Conference player of the year.
King, Tori Sandsor (four kills, one block, 17 assists) and Ariel Hernandez (12 serve receptions, 18 digs) were named to the all-conference team.
“It was an outstanding season,” said Anglin, referring to the Patriots winning the conference title for the second straight season.
“I”m proud of how far we got, regardless that we didn”t get past the second round,” King said.

Reviews for "Winona Ryver Witch: Fact or Fiction?"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to watch "Winona Ryver Witch" as I love supernatural-themed movies. However, I was sorely disappointed. The storyline lacked depth and was so predictable that I could guess the entire plot within the first 20 minutes. The acting was subpar, with wooden performances from the main cast, and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. Overall, "Winona Ryver Witch" failed to capture my attention or provide any genuine thrills. I would not recommend this movie to anyone craving a well-executed supernatural thriller.
2. Mike - 1 star - "Winona Ryver Witch" was a complete waste of my time. The characters were poorly developed, leaving me feeling no connection or empathy towards any of them. The plot was cliche and uninspiring, with no originality whatsoever. The special effects were mediocre at best, making the supernatural elements laughable rather than captivating. I have seen better B-grade horror flicks on late-night TV. Save your money and skip this movie entirely.
3. Jessica - 2 stars - "Winona Ryver Witch" had potential, but it failed to deliver on its promises. The pacing was incredibly slow, leaving me bored and disengaged throughout most of the film. The attempts at creating suspense fell flat, and the so-called twists in the plot were predictable and unexciting. The ending was anticlimactic and left me feeling unsatisfied. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this lackluster film unless you have absolutely nothing better to watch.
