A large group of girls will soon be taking to the volleyball court to compete as the East Atchison Lady Wolves in the first ever Tarkio/Fairfax co-oped high school volleyball team. This year’s team is coached by Jayme Wood, Ashley Hummel, and Melissa Graves.
Eighteen girls are on the team. Most of the team members have played volleyball as either junior high or high school athletes. This will be a learning year for the girls as they get used to playing together as one team. Coach Wood said she sees the team getting better each time the girls take to the court as they learn to read each other and work off each other’s combined strengths. It should be a good season.
