Eight regional volleyball teams begin a new season in tournament play tonight. The WACO volleyball team is hosting their annual season opening tournament this evening at Bob Hilmer Court. The teams set to compete in the event include Centerville, Columbus, Pekin, Van Buren, West Burlington, Wapello, and Sigourney.

WACO head volleyball coach Jay Coble sees the tournament as a good way to kick off the season, getting multiple matches in against several different classes of teams. Centerville defeat Pekin in last year’s championship match, 19-25, 25-19, 15-13.

First matches serve at 5 p.m. at WACO High School.
