Volleyball scrimmage brings alumni back on court

It appears the alumni have outdone themselves again this year in their showing at the WHS Volleyball Gatorade Alumni Scrimmage.  At least 16 former Lady Crusaders spanning graduating classes from 1998 to 2023 dusted off their A-game to give some competition to the Mandy (Zeka) Ramos-helmed 2023 Crusader Volleyball Team (Coach Ramos is herself a Class of 2006 WHS graduate).  Last year, the alumni team's "most veteran" participant was a 2002 grad.
