Greene County will take part in a volleyball scrimmage this Saturday hosted by South Central Calhoun, then the regular season begins on Aug. 27 along with four other teams at Dallas Center-Grimes. The Mustangs will host the Rams, Ballard (Huxley), Mason City, and Valley (West Des Moines).

Chris Heisterkamp is the head coach of the Rams and she talked with Raccoon Valley Radio about the importance of communication among her players. “We’re trying to get our back row girls talking to the hitters so when they go up to attack, they’re hearing something like ‘Go line, or You have two! meaning here’s your option and you have a half of a second to work with this information and be decisive about what you are going to do.”

The Rams return all but two players from the 2023 team that went 15-13 overall and finished in the upper division of the Heart of Iowa Activities Conference.
