PHOTO OF THE DAY: SERVING UP VOLLEYBALL

Freeman High School sophomore Emily Mendel delivers a serve on the first day of volleyball practice Thursday, Aug. 11 inside the district’s auxiliary gym. The Flyers and other teams across the state are taking to the court one week after football practices began in preparation for the fall prep sports season to come. The first team to actually compete this month will be the Freeman/Marion/Freeman Academy Phoenix and Jim River Trappers football teams, which are both in action Friday night, Aug. 19. The Phoenix are at Burke and the Trappers are at Sioux Valley.
