The Perry Jayette volleyball team opened up their first day of practice Monday with a lot of energy and optimism.  Head Coach Carol VanKirk returns a nice nucleus of letterwinners for this year’s run.  Frankie Ecklund and Shannon Thompson provide the Jayettes with size at the net.  Eklund led Perry with 254 kills last season.  Senior Skye Ellett was second on the team with 169 kills and gives Perry an athletic threat on the net.  Maggie Lowe and Haley Irwin appear to be the setters heading into preseason camp.

The Jayettes finished 18-12 last season and 5-4 in the Raccoon River Conference.  Bondurant Farrar won the conference going 9-0.  Perry opens their season August 25th at the Skip Anderson Classic in Bondurant.
