Quick adjustment isn’t easy, but Bowling said the team is ready. There was a lot of production from a large sophomore class with several freshmen stepping up as well.
Bowling, a member of Black Hawk College football, said the recent injuries are scary and put things into perspective.
“You just have to get those nerves out on the pitch and play like we normally do,” she said. “You just can’t think it’s over after one game.”
Alleman coach Chad Hollmer said it hurt to lose Colburn, a senior leader and captain committed to play at the University of Illinois at Springfield.
“It’s awful, to be honest. We’ve all felt that and wish we could do something now,” he said. “We just have to support her. … We’re playing pretty well honestly and she’s one of those.” main reasons. It’s hard.”
Alleman crashed in the regional final last year in class 2A. Back in 1A, the Pioneers can win their first regional title since their two consecutive victories in 2018 and 2019.
“I really think we’re prepared for whatever comes our way,” Bowling said, “just going into every game being strong, coming in hard and hoping for the best result.”
