Washington’s first day of school is today; but that’s not the only first today brings for the Demon volleyball players.

The Washington volleyball team opens up its season tonight at home against Mid Prairie.  The Demons are coming off of a 5-24 season, but with a roster filled solely with juniors and seniors, they have a much more experienced group this year than last.  Head coach Lexa Mahr has said the complete lack of underclassmen might seem concerning for the future, but for right now, it’s an exciting prospect.

Their season opener comes against an undefeated Mid Prairie team, who is 6-1 in seven sets played this year.  The ninth grade and JV games are both listed to start at 5:45, with the varsity game to start at 7:30.
