Golden Girls win state<br />
championship<br />
Most teams dance together after winning<br />
a state championship – but for<br />
the Golden Girls of Francis Howell<br />
High School, dancing together as a<br />
team is what clinched the title for them.<br />
A season that started last April culminated<br />
in February, when the Golden Girls Dance<br />
Team won the Class 6 State Championship<br />
for the second time in the past three years.<br />
“After the very first practice, I was thinking<br />
this team reminds me a lot of our team<br />
that won two years ago,” senior Becca<br />
Tierney said.<br />
Make no mistake; the Golden Girls do<br />
more than dance. The student-athletes in<br />
the program have a cumulative GPA of<br />
3.55 and are actively involved in supporting<br />
causes such as the Juvenile Diabetes<br />
Research Foundation, First Responders<br />
Night and Pink Out.<br />
The Golden Girls Dance Team of Francis Howell<br />
High won the Class 6 State Championship.<br />
Lutheran St. Charles<br />
names new volleyball coach<br />
There will be a new face on the sidelines<br />
for the Lutheran St. Charles freshmen girls<br />
volleyball team this fall.<br />
Rachel Versemann has been named<br />
freshmen girls volleyball coach for the<br />
20<strong>17</strong>-2018 school year.<br />
She graduated from Concordia University<br />
in Chicago, where she was a fouryear<br />
starter on the women’s volleyball<br />
team. She also played basketball and ran<br />
track for the Cougars while attending Concordia.<br />
After college, she began her coaching<br />
career at St. John Lutheran School in<br />
Forest Park, Illinois, where she coached<br />
fifth- through eighth-grades and was also a<br />
third-grade instructor. A year later, she also<br />
served as varsity head coach at Walther<br />
Lutheran High School in Melrose Park,<br />
Illinois. Versemann spent three years at<br />
Walther, then joined the staff of Concordia<br />
as an assistant coach.<br />
This is Versemann’s second time coaching<br />
at Lutheran, as she previously coached<br />
under Cathy Chapin from 2000-2004.<br />
During the past six years, Versemann,<br />
who teaches kindergarten at Fairmount<br />
Elementary in Francis Howell, worked as<br />
an assistant coach with the boys and girls<br />
programs.<br />
Versemann is glad to be back at Lutheran<br />
St. Charles and is looking forward to building<br />
relationships with players and families<br />
as the Cougars continue to build upon their<br />
recent volleyball success.<br />
