Lions' volleyball relies on juniors
Lawrence High enters the season with only two seniors in coach Joan Wells's 24th year leading the program. The Lions, 39-2 and state runners-up last year, open at a Shawnee Mission East triangular. Juniors Jamelle Hamilton, Anne Murray, and sophomore Trina Humphrey form a tall, balanced front line while Marty Givens and Erika Jones, the two seniors, share setter duties and serve as captains. Wells plans to seven players regularly and insists everyone will play as the youth-driven squad progresses.
