While today is the first official day of school at Jonathan Alder, nearly all of the Pioneer sports teams are already into their season. The Alder football squad, the only team not already in action, will open its season Aug. 30 at Philo. Above, the Jonathan Alder Lady Pioneer varsity volleyball team huddles up prior to the start of their first match during the Marysville Spike Off tournament at Marysville High School. The Lady Pioneers went 2-1 at the season opening tournament beating Dublin Jerome and Westerville south, while falling to Pickerington North. For a complete preview of this volleyball team as well as all the Jonathan Alder Fall sports teams, see the Aug. 27 edition of the Journal-Tribune.
