As one of the smallest school conferences in the state, the Goldenrod Conference really packs a punch.
Central Valley and Humphrey St. Francis led the way to state appearances last season, with Fullerton and Nebraska Christian only one game away. The class D2 Runner-up St. Francis, returns a core group of players and will be pushing their way to state in 2020 in volleyball and basketball. Central Valley returns 5 of their 6 starters. They will need to fill the setting position, but JV players are ready to step into that role. Both Fullerton and Nebraska Christian will have a height advantage at the net.
Many teams in the conference return younger players that are now upperclassmen with experience. All 8 players on Spalding Academy were juniors last season and looking forward to the 2020 season.
