MetroWNY has posted an article on 5-6 L/DS Kendall Pierce (who has verbally committed to play at Penn State in 2012) and the challenges facing her Eden High School volleyball team as they head into the sectional tournament.  Here’s an excerpt:

Due to a few injuries and an unforeseen scenario or two that cropped up throughout the season, several players have been thrust into larger or more unfamiliar roles.
