When the going got tough, Fairbury’s entire varsity lineup got going during the most important contest of the Jeffs 2019 season thus far.
Fairbury’s been in plenty of tough situations during their 2019 campaign. Out of the Jeffs 23 wins heading into Saturday’s district final matchup against Malcom, nine contests had been come-from-behind victories.
That theme continued during Saturday’s District C-3 title game at the Fairbury Softball Complex.

To add to the doubt, Thayer Central put on a lackluster performance at their jamboree matches to start the season according to their head coach Cody Dunlap.

It doesn’t get much tougher than the Fairbury softball schedule.
The Jeffs have played 15 ranked teams that have been in the Lincoln Journal Star ratings at one point or another so far this season.
Yet the Jeffs are still putting together one of the greatest regular seasons in school history.
Fairbury improved their record to 18-4 this past weekend at the Crete Invite with a runner-up finish that featured a 12-0 win over Nebraska City and a 5-1 win over Class C ratings contender Bishop Neumann.

If you’ve heard this before, that’s because nothing has changed – or at least that zero in the sets dropped column for the Diller-Odell volleyball team.
After winning the Axtell Kansas Tournament on Saturday via a 5-0 record, all by way of 2-0 sweeps, Diller-Odell has still not dropped a set in 2019. That’s 41 set wins and 0 set losses in their first 18 games of 2019.
Diller-Odell head coach Kandice Jurgens noted that serve receiving was a strong suit for her team in their tournament championship run.
