Spicy Matchup With St. Teresa's of KC at St. Joe in Volleyball Tonight

Defending state champs grinding through a challenging schedule this year.

Karen Davis, St. Joseph's Academy volleyball coach is not the sort to back down from an alley fight. The defending state champs play a type of schedule that would make other coaches hair curl.

They load up with the best opponents from St. Louis, Chicago, Louisville and Kansas City. Tonight's match on the homecourt of the Angels, at 7 o'clock has extra meaning.

The new president of St. Joe is Anita Reznicek, former head at St. Teresa's in KC for many years. Though she will be fondly greeting her old mates, she will be decked from head to toe in green.
