In this Oct. 13, 2025 file photo, members for the Rhinelander High School volleyball team, from left to right, Kenzie Paulson, Corynn Waksmonski, Kylie Treder, Vayda Ives, Kayla Skubal, Maddie Paulson and Ava Rathbun, react after Rhinelander defeated Hurley in five sets in a non-conference volleyball match at the Jim Miazga Community Gymnasium. Though the Hodags had a long season, they played some of their best volleyball at the end — as evidenced by the Hurley win and taking a set from Mauston in the WIAA tournament.
