With tryouts finally in the books, Elmore County has set its roster for its first-ever volleyball season in Class 5A and the Panthers were ready to get things started when they hit the court Monday for the first official practice of the season.

“It’s going to be very exciting and we’re going to get a lot of work done,” ECHS coach Kim Moncrief said. “These girls have a very competitive spirit in them. They didn’t get to do anything from March to June and that’s a long time to not be competitive. They’ve been focused and even as far behind as we may be, they are even more energized.”
