October was full of “Trick or Treats” for the BHS Volleyball team, as it seemed like half the starters were on “Injured Reserve” through injuries and illnesses. It was hard to build on consistent “good play” when you had no idea who was going to be available come match time. In the last match of the season, the varsity pulled it together to beat Waltham in three sets and earn an invitation to the state tournament.

The last home match of the season is also the traditional Senior Night. Bedford Volleyball celebrated four seniors – Kara Shelmire, Cam Rackey, Kate Winkler, and Mallory Ferland. Mallory Ferland was still sidelined with illness but cheered her team to victory.
With Mallory out of the match, Bedford decided to go without a Libero. Kara Shelmire had substituted in this role for a couple of matches, but her value on the front line was too important.
Cam Rackey stepped up to lead the Bucs with 9 kills, and 2 blocked shots. A great way to end her regular season play on the BHS court.
Frosh Michaela Schmidt came up big, having her best all-around match of the season – 6 Aces, 7 kills, and 6 digs.
The volleyball team will now rest over the weekend as they wait to hear the tournament pairing.
