Central Heights High School coach Ann Bowen experiments with three rotations in early season. The Vikings, now using a 6 2 lineup with no libero, swept Jayhawk Linn 25-20 25-17 and Metro Academy 25-17 25-20. Senior Katelin Horstick shifts to hitter while setter duties pass to Jennifer Bell and Maggie Cotter. Bowen praised team communication and practice results but noted lingering inconsistencies and a need for small improvements as the season proceeds.
