With the addition of the LIFE Project Gym, Logan was able to host the WKLL Junior High Volleyball tournament on Thursday, Oct. 24. The nine teams were divided into 3 pools, then based on the pool play results, moved to gold, silver and bronze bracket play.

The Logan-Palco Trojans started their day against Golden Plains where they came up short 16-25, 18-25. In their next match against Western Plains, the Lady Trojans won their first set with a close 28-26 score, but couldn't hold on to the momentum and lost the next two 23-25, 18-25. The two losses moved them to the bronze bracket where they took on Heartland Christian, winning 25-19, 25-17. In their final match of the day, the Lady Trojans took on Northern Valley in three sets. The Trojans were able to prevail, winning the bronze bracket 25-15, 17-25, 25-17.

The tournament concluded the volleyball season. With one day off, it's on to basketball as the junior teams will begin the winter sports practice on Monday.
