Coach happy with volleyball team?s work at scrimmage

Mary Kate Fisher of the Lady Pioneers works on her bump passing during a recent team practice. The Lady Pioneers are busily preparing for their Aug. 21 season opener.

The scrimmage was set up at the last minute, but the two teams got two hours of much needed work.

No score was kept as the teams used a three-serve-and-out format, which insured both teams got plenty of work on both offense and defense.

Head coach Franklin Fisher made sure everyone got to see plenty of action as he has four positions to fill after losing four starting seniors last season.

?Things turned out to be better than I had expected,? Fisher said. ?I was pleasantly surprised, but I also know we have a lot of work to get done.

?Brittany Frazier and Mary Kate Fisher still have some work to do at the middle hitter position, a new position for both of them, but today they made big strides. Some of our younger players showed some real promise, with Linnsay Williamson and Lauren Lytle doing a good job. We did several things well, especially serving and receiving serve. We had good hustle and played aggressive. It?s going to take time, but we seem to get smoother as we go. It?s going to be a work in progress.?

Warren County traveled to Tullahoma for a play day on Saturday, and will be at Franklin County for another scrimmage on Monday.
