 Well, it's still early in the high school volleyball season, but for the Walker Hackensack Ackley-Wolves, they couldn't have asked for a much better start. 2-0 with wins over Sabika in Hill City, a very veteran group consisting of five seniors and six starters returning from last year, and they credit 2016 as a huge learning experience, but now they're a year older and ready to make some noise. We've been working together all summer, getting back in the gym, doing stuff with coach. We did a Summer League in Park Rapids. That went fairly well. We were just used to playing with each other. We didn't have to change anything in our rotations. We actually added one senior. Even the younger girls on the team have been with us that long, so we've been playing together for a long time, and it's great not to have anybody leave that. They also look to lean on their offensive weapons, including six-foot sisters Katie and Megan Benjamin to lead a very balanced group of attackers. We're pretty strong at the net. We have two middles that are sisters, and they're pretty tall. So yeah, we get a lot of touches on the ball. Walking and hitting are a huge part to it, especially having two six-foot-tall people on our team. It's been great.
