We held our 20th annual volleyball triathlon today. This day always makes me so proud as a coach because the girls are reminded they can do hard things, and for many it is a physical and mental test. In addition, our parents provide a wonderful breakfast. Thank you parents!! 💜🏐💜

A special thanks to MHS Alum and current UNK drumline member Evan Porter for sharing your knowledge.
Looking forward to seeing the full band next week starting at 8:30AM in the band room!
