HERRIN, Ill. — The Herrin volleyball squad is slated to face Wayne City, part of a busy early-season schedule for a program that's used to playing meaningful matches this time of year, according to a MaxPreps schedule listing.
Early September matchups like this one are as much about building depth and rotation chemistry as they are about the win column. For Herrin, a town that has produced its share of tough, hard-nosed teams over the years, early tests against outside competition are the proving ground before the stretch of the season that counts most.
No venue, conference standing, or final score was available in the reporting on hand. This one's on the calendar — the details will have to wait for the next dispatch.
