MINDEN - The LouPlatte Conference All-Star volleyball team was slightly shorthanded on Thursday night at the New West All-Star Classic to benefit the Nebraska Kidney Association in Minden.

It didn't phase the LouPlatte All-Stars in their 25-11, 25-20. 25-15 victory over the Southwest All-Stars in the first game.

However, the lack of depth caught up with the LouPlatte Conference team of Cassie Donlinger and Mariah Reicks of Kearney Catholic, Taylor Hand of Ravenna, Angie Bowers of Wood River, Chelsea Caruso and Makenzie Mudloff of St. Paul and Brook Henry of Loup City as the Fort Kearny Conference All-Stars won the championship in three sets in the best-of-three format.

The New West All-Star Classic benefiting the Nebraska Kidney Association will be held on June 9 starting at 5 p.m. at Minden.
