American Valley Speedway
The thunderstorm that hit
Quincy just before the finale
of the American Valley
Speedway racing season did
not dampen the spirits of the
drivers nor the fury of their
last competition until next
spring. The storm added
more moisture to the track
just after the water truck had
made its passes. By the time
of the races the storms had
subsided. All was well for the
Timber Cup event.
Chris Nieman, who took
first in the Main event for
Modified cars, said, "The
track conditions were ideal."
Others may have disagreed.
Chris, who ended his first
season in a Modified, is
already looking forward, to
next season. This ending is
only the beginning for many
of the young drivers. Veter-
ans like Richard Papen-
hausen will be making re-
pairs after a destructive
night. Chris had a best speed
of 70.777 mph while Richard
had a speed of 70.729 mph.
The Modified Main had 11
cars thundering around the
track on a 30-lap race. It took
Nieman 31.39.516 minutes to
win the checkered. Jay Sears
was in second with a differ-
ence of 1.799 seconds. Mitch
Murphy came in third fol-
lowed by Bill Pearson. Jeff
Olschowka, who drove the
race with the fury of a thun-
derstorm, finished in fifth on
a fiat tire. Bobby Higgins
came in sixth.
There was an added money
incentive for the Modifieds
thanks to John Papen-
hausen, who recruited many
sponsors.
With seven Dwarf cars
running it seemed only ap-
propriate to give their dri-
vers names of the seven
dwarfs. Quincy's Chase Nie-
man was appropriately la-
beled "Bashful" and Jason
Crosby was called "Dopey"
for some unknown reason.
Joe Frock became "Happy."
Derek Rosse was "Grumpy."
There was "Sneezy" Dalton
Smith. Portola's Jessy
VanKol was "Doc" and David
Richardson was "Sleepy."
Next season the names may
change.
Joe Frock was happy to
win their 20-lap Main event.
Derek Rosse should not have
been too grumpy after taking
second with a 0.047 second
difference. "Doc" VanKol
was in third. "Doc" may have
given "Dopey" a shot of some
bad medicine.
The Mini Stock Main had
four cars running 12 laps.
The Maddbuzz team domi-
nated the race. Jon Busselen
took the checkered. Six-foot,
7-inch Lance Barn took sec-
ond. Modifications were
made to the car to accommo-
date his frame. Larry White-
bird took third. Fourteen-
year-old Jozay Robertson
took fourth.
American Valley SPeed-
way wishes to thank all the
volunteers and sponsors that
made this racing season pos-
sible and successful. For

The Greenville High School
volleyball team captured two
big wins last week against for-
midable Chester and Quincy
teams, showing that the
smallest school in the county
can take down its consider-
ably larger counterparts.
Greenville coach Lauren
Allen said her team had a
rough start to its season, but
that only inspired her players
to work even harder.
"Their hard work paid off,
and they will continue to
work even harder to stay on
top of their game," said Allen.
The Greenville Indians
traveled to Chester Tuesday,
Sept. 13, and defeated the La-
dy Volcanoes 3-2, displaying
remarkable resiliency after
losing the first two games.
After losing game one 25-15
and game two 25-19,
Greenville edged Chester 25-
22 in game three to extend the
series. This swung the mo-
mentum to the Indians, who
carried it into a 25-10 win in
game four and a 15-9 win in
game five.
Katelyn Johns led
Greenville's offensive charge,
scoring 20 kills on 31 attacks,
w.ith just two errors. Kaileena
Navarro added seven kills.
Sammy Prior and Brianna
Ray each put up 15 assists.
From the service line,
Navarro delivered 10 aces on
29 serves for the Indians, with
four errors. Ray scored six
aces on 24 serves with no er-
rors.
On defense, Alicia Missman
led with 17 digs, followed by
Johns with !6, Dani Elsten
with 15 and Raywith 14.
Johns led with 24 service re-
ceptions.
Greenville 3, Quincy 1
Two nights later,
Greenville hosted Quincy and
won in four games, 25-21, 17-
25, 25-19 and 25-15.
This contrasted with just a
week earlier, when Quincy
beat Greenville 3-0 in Quincy
Sept. 6 and 2-0 at the Lassen
tournament Sept. 10.
In the Indians' Sept. 15 win,
Johns turned in 17 kills and
five aces for Greenville, while
Missman earned nine kills
and three aces. Navarro regis-
tered six kills and four aces.
Prior delivered 17 assists.
Missman anchored
Greenville's defense, with 18
digs and 17 service recep-
tions. Johns claimed 10 digs
and 17 receptions.
The Indians have a home
game tomorrow night, Sept.
22, against Providence.
