In a warm gymnasium, a volleyball game was played Tuesday at the Marysville High School. If one were to stand outside of that gym you would see a team of ladies standing motionless, yelling at one another “out” as a serve is fired over the net. The ball traveling just beyond a white line painted on the floor as a referee raises an red flag over his head and waves it frantically. To someone new to the game of volleyball this may be a peculiar scene, but for the Lady Monarchs this is how they play the game.
