The Haines High School volleyball team jumped into the fire at its first competition last weekend in Wrangell, facing 2012 state qualifiers Craig and Klawock along with the host Wolves and a Ketchikan junior varsity squad.
“It’s different than practice, when you see those heavy hitters,” said coach Judy Erekson.
The Glacier Bear varsity started with a 14-25, 18-25 loss to Wrangell on Friday. Haines then rebounded to topple Class 4A Ketchikan’s JV team, 25-11, 25-13.
