  • Back-row passing key to PC, TC's sectional chances

    When one thinks of volleyball stars, it's typical to think of the tall, high-jumping power hitters in the front row who frequently hammer spikes to the opposing team's floor.

    Tell City graduated its leading spiker, Dana Sibrel, last year. The Marksmen also lost another good hitter, Kathi Kassen, a foreign exchange student who had to return to her native Germany this year.

    But the Marksmen still have several strong hitters this year, including three who are each at least 5-foot-10: Lauren Goffinet, Elizabeth Kohnert and Brittney Harth.

    Paoli entered the game ranked 10th in the state in Class 2A by the Associated Press and averaging 42.3 points per game.
