Edwardsville High School volleyball players stress fundamentals in first practices

EDWARDSVILLE - The Edwardsville girls volleyball team has some solid returnees and a host of new freshmen who will add to the depth of the squad once the season begins.

Edwardsville head volleyball coach Jami Parker said the first week and a half has been spent working on basics before moving to the court.

"We needed to make sure our fundamentals are sound, then do more and more court work," she said. "We have a great group of kids. They are intelligent young women and fun to coach."
