Park Hill volleyball wins opener, gives back



The Park Hill volleyball team started off their season Monday night with a quality win over North Kansas City, overpowering their way to victory in consecutive sets. Especially with a more experienced squad, after two or three weeks of practice, the anticipation to get the season under way was mounting by the day.

“We have lot of juniors, a couple seniors,” junior Lyndi Plattner said. “We are putting it all together because for a lot us, it’s our third or fourth year.”

Coach Lindsey Hood was pleased with the win, but knew there were improvements to make.

“It’s nice to get a win. It gives the girls a little bit of confidence," Hood said.
The Lady Trojans have not only been busy preparing for the season ahead, but they took time out of their practice schedule a couple weeks ago to volunteer at the Micah Ministry at Independence Boulevard Christian Church. Some of the things team members helped out with included serving the homeless, working in the kids center, and handing out clothes.

“We always preach to the girls to give back and how important that is,” Hood said.

The Trojans host Lee’s Summit West next Tuesday before traveling to Lee’s Summit Thursday or next week.
