The state of Kentucky has always been considered by those near and far a basketball state.
Maybe add volleyball to the list.
When Western Kentucky lines up against Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament second round at Memorial Coliseum Saturday, it will represent two of the state’s three conference champions and the hard work put in by the players, staff and coaches not only of those universities, but also of a vibrant youth club and high school system that has begun producing quality college volleyball talent, said WKU Coach Travis Hudson.
“It’s a great time for volleyball in this state,” Hudson said after his team’s 3-0 demolition of Notre Dame in Friday’s first round.
