Wetumpka hits the court with regular season looming

When the new school year starts in August, the first competition for Wetumpka will not be held on the football field. The Wetumpka volleyball team starts its season at home Aug. 22 and the Indians hit the court exactly one month before the opener for a play date at Prattville Christian on Thursday.

“The goal of a day like today is to see where we’re weak and what we need to work on,” Wetumpka coach DeAnna Smith said. “We like to try out some new schemes and things we have done over the summer at practice. I just want to make sure what I’m seeing at practice is showing up on the floor.”
