Raider spikers hope senior core can lift team to winning season

The seniors members of the 2012 Elmwood High School volleyball team only make-up less than a quarter of the Raiders 22-person roster. But this quartet will be counted on to lead the team this season.

The seniors members of the 2012 Elmwood High School volleyball team only make-up less than a quarter of the Raiders 22-person roster. But this quartet will be counted on to lead the team this season.

EHS returns senior letter winners Ally Pax, McKayla Brunner, Jessica Olson and Janessa VandenBerge. Olson, the team's setter, was second team All Dunn-St. Croix Conference from last season and Brunner, a middle hitter, received honorable mention. Pax returns as an outside hitter and VandenBerge a front row blocker.

With Olson the D-SC's top returning setter last season with 227 assists and Brunner the league-leader in aces with 42, Elmwood head coach Bev Glaus is excited over the possibilities.
