Nebraska volleyball 2025 season
By: Siri David
This season at Nebraska there is a new head coach. Her name is Dani Busboom Kelly. She is an alumni of Nebraska and played there as a libero and setter in the past from 2003 to 2006. She then coached at Louisville from 2017 to the winter of 2025 where she then stepped down, and decided to coach at Nebraska.
This is a huge deal because the Nebraska coach at the time, John Cook, was retiring and he played a huge role in the whole organization of volleyball at Nebraska. He coached at Nebraska for 25 years, and made an incredible impact.
He coached Dani throughout all of her years at Nebraska, and the loss of him retiring affected everyone. John made a strong impact on the outside hitter Harper Murray. Harper struggled with her mental health a lot in her freshman year and made a lot of mistakes, but John never stopped supporting her and helping her even when she couldn’t help herself. Before John told anyone else on the team he sat down with Harper and talked to her because of how important their bond was.
Dani coming to Nebraska caused a lot of different reactions both negative and positive. For the team though everyone was excited, and they all knew that she was a great coach because of how successful she was at Louisville. She also went to Nebraska so she knows how the atmosphere is and how to help them continue to be a successful team and organization.
Along with that she is also one of the only females to ever coach at Nebraska, and is taking major strides to help female leadership roles become more common. She took Louisville to the national championship against Penn state where both head coaches were female which has never happened in NCAA volleyball history.
Overall, Dani coming to Nebraska has caused a lot of changes but a lot of good changes. The Huskers are currently undefeated and are ranked number one. A lot of people are saying that they will go to the national championship and win it all. The players at Nebraska have vocalized that they do miss John but that they love Dani a lot and that she is doing a lot of good for the team and they have a lot of trust in her. There obviously have been a lot of things to adjust to but the team is handling it all really well.

The start of Saint Paul hockey
By: Canaan Nonnemacher
The Saint Paul hockey team is a cooperative high school team for Highland Park, Central, Como, and Johnson. This unified team was formed in 2025 because there weren’t enough players for each school to have its own team. By combining, the students could continue to play hockey.
About the Scots
The Highland Park Scots hockey program has a history that includes a significant “comeback.”
After the varsity team merged with Central in 1987, it didn’t exist for over two decades. The comeback began in 2008 with a junior varsity team, and the Scots played their first varsity season in 23 years in 2010.
The Scots won their only St. Paul City Conference title in the 1975-76 season, a year in which they also had their best record with 19 wins.
In recent years, they have been very successful, including one of their best seasons recently when they reached the section semifinals for the first time since 1976. This was a huge accomplishment for the team and shows how hard they have worked.
About the Governors
Before the merge, the Johnson Governors were a historic program dating back more than 100 years. The Governors were known for their success on the ice, winning four state championships and producing good players, including Herb Brooks, the coach of the “Miracle on Ice” 1980 U.S. Olympic team.
The end of the Governors as a stand-alone team was a sad moment for the community, but their team lives on as part of the combined Saint Paul hockey program. The history and tradition of the Governors are now a big part of the combined team’s identity.
By joining together, the Saint Paul hockey team is a powerful combination of tradition and a fresh start. The team not only preserves the history of programs like the Scots and the Governors but also builds a strong, unified identity. This collaboration lets student athletes keep playing.

The US Open: Sinner Vs Alcaraz
By: Karl Salkowski
The US Open is renowned as one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. Over the course of the year there are four Grand Slam tournaments, each played on a different surface: the French Open on clay, Wimbledon on grass, and the Australian and US Opens on hard courts. These events have some of the highest prize money in sports, boasting over 50-100 million per event.
The US Open lasts around two weeks, beginning on August 24th and ending on September 7th. Every year 128 players compete in the US Open for both men’s and women’s singles. These tournaments each have extensive legacies dating back over a century. The US Open is the final of the Grand Slam events each year and is the last major tournament until the Australian Open in January.
Before the tournament had even begun, two favorites had emerged. Carlos Alcaraz, a Spanish player who previously won the US Open in 2022 and has a total of 6 Grand Slam titles. Alcaraz would be competing against another favorite, Jannik Sinner, an Italian player who won the US Open in 2024 and has a total of 4 Grand Slam titles.
Alcaraz and Sinner collectively have won every Grand Slam title in the last 2 years, 2024-2025. Many other famous players took part in the US Open as well, including Novak Djokovic, one of the most dominant players in tennis history, having won 24 Grand Slam Titles.
Sinner and Alcaraz were placed on opposite sides of the bracket, meaning they wouldn’t meet until the finals. They both had several close matches. Alcaraz faced Djokovic during the quarterfinals in a grueling match that lasted over 2 hours. Eventually Alcaraz was able to narrowly defeat Djokovic, not only cementing his position in the finals, but also proving that he was one of the greatest players in the sport.
Alcaraz’s momentum only continued to increase throughout the competition. By the time he entered the finals, it was clear that he had control of the match. In the end, Carlos Alcaraz was able to edge out his rival Sinner, and won the 2025 US Open Grand Slam title.
