Roxana showcases girls volleyball talent at Mid-Summer Spike Fest Tourney

ROXANA - Roxana High School showcased a considerable amount of talent in its annual Mid-Summer Spike Fest Girls Volleyball Tourney Saturday.

Roxana girls volleyball coach Mike McKinney said they decided to have the tourney with area teams from several conferences after playing in several summer tourneys in Missouri and near Springfield, IL.

"We made sure teams from the same conference were in different pools," he said. "Each pool had four teams and each team plays a round robin for a total of three matches. Once pool play is done, we have winners of each pool do the same as will the third- and fourth-place teams. It's just a good way for coaches and players to see where they stand with other teams in the area."
