NU Notebook: Cook Eager for Scrimmage

If you're wondering what a Nebraska volleyball team with no seniors and six freshmen looks like in action, well, you're not alone.

Coach John Cook has prepared his Huskers for 20 seasons now, and he's as eager as ever to find out which players shine brightest in Saturday's 6 p.m. Red-White preseason scrimmage at the Devaney Sports Center.

"It's a great opportunity for people to step up and show they're ready for primetime," Cook said after Thursday's practice. "It's always interesting to see who performs in that match, because it is stressful."

If the last two weeks of practice serve as any indication, fans and coaches alike will see a hotly contested, competitive battle.
