Hinton volleyball ready to roll ahead of 2026 season
HINTON, Iowa (KCAU) – The Hinton volleyball program has its sights set on reloading ahead of a year full of opportunity.
Hinton finished last season as the Class 2A runner-up with a 30-3 overall record, entering this year with a new look.
The Blackhawks graduated three depth pieces and a trio of starters, including IGHSAU All-State pick and now Creighton freshman Bailey Boeve.
Hinton returns a rising trio featuring sophomore Ellie Friesen and juniors Addison Dunkel and Raelyn Kempema as the program hopes to remain in the mix for a chance to contend this season.
“Once you all get that experience like now, then we all know what it takes to get there and I think that helps, like having us on the team and whatnot,” Dunkel said.
“We work really hard in practice and we all communicate well. This year. So those spots have been filled good and I think we’ll be just fine,” Kempema mentioned.
Hinton begins the year at the Unity Christian Tournament on Augsut 29th.
