Griffith, along with the assistance of WCHS head volleyball coach Franklin Fisher, put over 30 girls through a two-hour session of bumping, passing, serving and hitting.
Six upcoming sixth-graders, 10 upcoming seventh-graders and 14 upcoming eighth-graders made up the list of participants who tried out for the middle school team.
?We have several players coming back from last year?s squad, but I need to bring in as many athletes as possible to rebuild the program,? Griffith said. ?Right now I?m hoping to find three or four girls to help replace my eighth-graders from last season. Each season seems like a rebuilding year for the program, but that?s what the middle school program is all about. We introduce these kids to the game, providing a solid platform for the high school squad.?
Coach Griffith narrowed the field down to 13 players to fill next year?s squad.
