Greene County volleyball senior Bella Schroeder was a Heart of Iowa Activities Conference first team all-conference hitter last season. She’s part of an experienced group of Rams who hope to build on the first winning season in 10 years, when Coach Chris Heisterkamp’s 2021 team was 16-13 overall and 4-3 in the conference.

On her role as a senior, Schroeder said, “I feel like last year we also had a big role because we didn’t have a ton of seniors, but definitely this year we’ve taken on a lot more responsibility and we’re leaders of the team. We have to make sure to keep the energy positive.”

The Rams open the regular season on Monday, Aug. 22 in Collins vs. Glidden-Ralston and Collins-Maxwell.
