Local sports returns with volleyball tourney action

School is back in session and to all of us avid fans the biggest thing that means is sports.

Across the area, volleyball teams have taken to the court, cross country runners are again getting up before sunrise to run through the woods, and football squads have begun playing scrimmages in advance of a new season on the gridiron.

We will begin our coverage this year with some volleyball action and kick the football season off in earnest with our annual football preview section next week.
