Cyclones poised for balanced attack this season
Ottawa High School enters 1994 with a balanced volleyball offense led by six returners from a 32-12 squad that finished fourth at state. Coach Karla Van Leeuwen says the team will avoid relying on one or two players, adapting new looks after Kendra Kahler’s departure. Injuries to Jenny Hicks and Leslie Mettenburg challenge depth as the Cyclones open against Seaman, Olathe East, and Hayden at 5 p.m. at the OHS gym.
