PRAGUE, Neb. (KOLN) — The village of Prague is home to less than 200 people. But the annual Pink Bandana Beat Breast Cancer Mud Volleyball Tournament brings five times that to the area.

Hundreds packed the ball field this weekend with campers and tents, all centered around eight pools.

Their motto? “Play dirty and feel good about it.”

One hundred and sixty teams battled Saturday for bragging rights — and for a good cause — to raise thousands for Nebraska women fighting breast cancer. Like 35-year-old Hickman resident Kari Lau.

“It makes me almost cry knowing how much people care,” Lau said. “And they come up to you and say, like, ‘Thank you for being here, so sorry.’ And that just makes me feel really good.”

Lau was originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020, and after a year of treatment thought her cancer was gone.

“Last July, I started not feeling very well,” Lau said. “And so, I went in for an MRI and they called me a little bit later and said, ‘You need to go to the hospital. It’s pretty much everywhere. So, it came back. And it was in my brain, behind my eye, in my pelvis, in my shoulder, my bones…that was a lot to take. And I was kind of crushed a little bit.”

Thankfully she’s now feeling better, with lots of support and treatment.

Lau and her family enjoyed the day in Prague, smiling, laughing and taking pictures of the games — her daughter building sandcastles nearby.

“I am so honored to be a recipient and so thankful to be here,” Lau said. “This is such a fun and cool environment, and it’s awesome that they do this every year. It means so much as a recipient, but also to the people that come and how special they make it.”

Tournament founder Jeremy Stanislav said that community support is incredible, with visitors coming from all over Nebraska.

I think the really cool thing about this event itself is just the fact that it’s set out in a in a rural community, a small town, and we have people from all over coming.” Stanislav said. “We’ve got Fremont, Lincoln, we’ve got Omaha, all the small towns all around here.”

The tournament is a nod to his grandmother who had breast cancer, and one of the volunteer awards is named after his mother — affectionately known as “Momma Stanislav” — who died of leukemia in 2016.

“We’re all really into the cause, really trying to help people out the best we can,” Stanislav said. “And then we also chose women that are 40 and under just because they’re an age group that people really don’t think about a lot of times when you think about breast cancer … so we want to find a way to kind of create awareness for younger women so that they also continue to check and make sure that they’re vigilant of the issues.”

The financial support gifted from the tournament is intended for something more than just medical bills.

“We tell them you can pay your bills with it, but I’d rather see them take a family vacation and have the memories from something, you know?” Stanislav told 10/11 Saturday morning. “Build a memory. The bills are going to always be there. Use this money to make your life a little bit easier for a little while, for all the fight that you’re going through. If they do that, we’re always really happy about that.”

The tournament will come to an end in 2027 — the 20th year.

“You think back of all the people that we’ve helped, all the different things, all the people that have come through here and stuff,” Stanislav said. “It really starts to go, ‘Wow, we really did something that’s amazing.’”

Leading the Div. 2 North Branch volleyball summer team camp this week was Jordan Fish. Fish is the Head Coach at Dallas Baptist University in Texas and one of North Branch Area Schools Supt. Jim Fish’s daughters. Jordan Fish enjoyed a spectacular high school and collegiate career before turning to coaching. The list includes Michigan High School Athletic Association State […]

From the Opening until the Closing Ceremony, 12 days of matches, races, fights, throws, jumps, spikes, goals, points, scores and so much more in the 18 sports that will make the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games unforgettable.

8500 participants from over 100 countries have travelled to the six cities – Bochum, Duisburg, Essen, Hagen, Mühleim an der Ruhr, Duisburg and Berlin – that are about to host the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games.

Across 18 sports, you will see Olympic champions, past FISU World University Games medallists and future world champions, but you will also see the leaders of tomorrow, because the student-athletes that take part to this event have all embarked on dual careers and will also be doctors, engineers, professors and scientists in the future.

To help you wait until the live action from these incredible young people from all five continents, here’s a recap of the documentaries that Eurosport has done for FISU on the road to these upcoming games. There is only one simple address to remember and set as a favourite on your laptop or phone: www.fisu.tv

She is an inspiration, a true role-model. Germany’s Lilly Sellack studies medicine and excels wheelchair basketball since an accident took away the complete use of her legs. She will be competing on the same court and on the same day as other 3xe basketball players in the amazing Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum.

On the left, Olympian and future artistic gymnastic star, Luke Whitehouse from Great Britain. On the right, his mentor for the day, German superhero, Fabian Hambüchen. Watch their chemistry grow as they exchange tips, experiences and laughs.

Tenniswoman and Rhine-Ruhr 2025 ambassador Gina Dittmann travels to Belgium to meet legend Justine Henin. As the conversion goes on, we realise the mentor is also inspired by her mentee’s ability to both play and study at a high level.

Brazilian-born beauty queen, Domitila Barros is using her fame to positively influence the younger generations on social media. She is a proud advocate for inclusivity and sustainability. She takes us on a tour of these Games that are about to change many people’s perspective on the power of sport.

The last athlete’s portrait of this series – which will be shared soon – takes us to Ireland and to Houston, following the powerful backstrokes of Lottie Cullen, who studies and swims in both countries to reach her goal: a final in the Berlin pool this month.

Next up… The Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games Opening Ceremony, with many live music acts, cultural legacies, the student-athlete’s parade and of course, the lighting of the flame. Don’t miss it!

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 12, 2025) – The U.S. Women’s National Team clinched a spot in the Volleyball Nations League (VNL) finals with a thrilling 3-2 (26-24, 23-25, 20-25, 25-21, 19-17) win over North American rival Canada on Friday night at the UT Arlington College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.

The U.S. (7-4) is now in seventh place and seeks to finish undefeated in the final week of VNL play tomorrow, Sunday, July 13, at 5 p.m. PT against China.

“I thought we had moments of better volleyball tonight than we did the first two nights. We still have some letdowns that kind of get away from us, so I’d like to clean those up and address those. I feel like we are getting up three or four points in a set and then giving those points back in maybe not the greatest fashion,” U.S. head coach Erik Sullivan said. “I thought in the fourth set and fifth sets, while we still did that a little bit, we did it in a better emotional state. We were battling and not getting defeated by those moments. I really like the way we competed in those two sets at the end.”

The 69-58 U.S. edge in kills was just enough to offset the 24-16 deficit in blocks. Both teams served three aces.

MATCH STATISTICS

“We are still kind of learning about each other a little bit trying to figure out what buttons to push and how we respond,” Sullivan commented. “We try to give them a little more emotional support when things not necessarily just don’t go our way but when we just don’t have quality touches and you can see we are a little frustrated. Our staff was giving more of a pump-up vibe and I thought that helped a little bit. Our goal this summer was to give some players opportunities. We will shuffle around and continue to do that. I don’t want to abandon that just because we qualified.”

Outside hitter Avery Skinner put together another tremendous match, totaling 21 points on 20 kills, including six in the final set, and a block. She also led team in digs with 14 and added 11 successful receptions. Opposite Madi Skinner (16 kills, one block, two aces) and outside Logan Eggleston (17 kills and two blocks) each scored 19 points.

Setter Jordyn Poulter finished with 63 assists, six digs and two blocks.

“We just tried to remind ourselves to take it one point, one play at a time. We’ve been challenged in every match in tis VNL tournament and we will continue to be challenged every match this summer, so we are working our hardest to try to be steady and consistent and play some good volleyball,” said Poulter, who ran the offense in which five players recorded at least seven kills. “We can’t spread it out unless we are passing well so I will give that credit to our passers fighting off some really tough serves.”

Libero Lexi Rodriguez led all players with 14 successful receptions and added nine digs. Middle blocker Tia Jimerson took over in the fourth set, scoring half of her 14 points, to keep the U.S. in the match. She finished with eight kills and shared match-high honors with six blocks. Middle Dana Rettke also reached double digits with 10 points on seven kills and three blocks.

Trailing 13-9 in the first set, Canada scored five consecutive points to take a 14-13 lead. Neither team led by more than two points the rest of the set, which was tied at 24 when the U.S. was able to score back-to-back points to take the set. Avery Skinner scored to set up the second U.S. set point. Opposite Taylor Mims made her 2025 VNL debut from the service line and Canada’s hitting error ended the set. Madi Skinner led all players with five kills and Avery Skinner added four points on three kills and a block.

A Jimerson block put the U.S. up 19-18 in the second set and her kill made it 20-19, but it would be the U.S. squad’s last lead of the set. Down 24-21, the U.S. defended two set points on a Madi Skinner kill off hands and an Avery Skinner back row attack, but Canada secured the final point. Madi Skinner (five kills and an ace) and Eggleston (four kills and two blocks) each scored six points in the set.

Canada led most of the third set. The U.S. did use a 5-0 run thanks to strong serving from Brionne Butler to take a 14-13 lead but Canada responded with an 8-3 run to retake a four-point lead. Madi Skinner paced the U.S. with five points on three kills, a block and an ace.

Jimerson recorded a kill and block on consecutive plays to give the U.S. a 12-7 lead in the fourth set. Canada responded with a 7-2 run, tying the set at 14 on an ace, and then took its last lead at 16-15. An Avery Skinner kill off hands and another Jimerson kill gave the U.S. the lead for good, 17-16.

A Jimerson block extended the lead to four points, 22-18. Rettke and Avery Skinner scored the final points of the set to send the match to a decisive fifth set. Jimerson led the U.S. in the set with seven points on four kills and a trio of blocks.

Another Jimerson block gave the U.S. a 9-5 lead in the fifth set but Canada scored the next four points, the last two on blocks, to even the set. Jimerson recorded a kill for a 10-9 lead and then her two digs on the next point led to an Avery Skinner kill that put the U.S. up 11-9.

After Canada tied the set at 11, Eggleston scored on a kill over the block for a 12-11 U.S. lead. Two U.S. errors and Canada’s 24th block of the match gave the underdogs two match points. Eggleston scored off the block and Rettke followed with a block to tie the set at 14.

Canada earned three more match points. A service error that was well long tied the set at 15 and two Avery Skinner kills helped the U.S. fight off a fourth and fifth match point. Avery Skinner gave the U.S. its first match point on a back row attack and Eggleston ended the match on a kill off a pass from Rodriguez. Skinner finished the set with six kills and Eggleston added four.
