FRESH START - Glacier Bears hosted their first volleyball tournament of the season, taking on Juneau Douglas and Thunder Mountain C teams on Friday and Saturday. Thunder Mountain 2 ultimately bested the Glacier Bears in the finals. Coach (and kindergarten teacher) Hailey Sanders said the team is young after graduating seven seniors last year. "This group is exceptionally coachable and eager to perfect their positions," said Sanders. "They are practically begging to practice longer and harder every day."
