Arabian volleyball hits the hardwoodTryouts/Two-a-Days set for August 5

Staff Writer
By Monday, August 5 it will have been 273 days since Head Coach Leigh Anne McIver and her Arabian team last took the court for a meaningful volleyball contest. Devine took on Corpus Christi Calallen November 7 in the third round of the Class 4A State Playoffs, but unfortunately for McIver and her squad, they took a heartbreaking 5-set loss that date almost nine months ago.
The wonderful thing about high school sports is that the sun always comes up the next morning, giving new teams and new seasons a chance to conquer any remaining demons from previous experiences and begin anew.
McIver and her terrific coaching staff welcome back several returners from the 2023 squad and are ready to integrate new blood into what they all believe will be an outstanding 2024 campaign.
