St. Louis, perhaps you have heard, takes a lot of pride in being a great sports city, and long is the list of reasons that prove it.
But you don’t get to pound your chest about the good things and ignore the bad, and what happened to 17-year-old volleyball player Janae Edmondson this past weekend is beyond bad.
Edmondson’s traveling volleyball club came to St. Louis from the Nashville area for a tournament at the Dome. What should have been a fun weekend of competition and time spent with family for the future volleyball player at University of Tennessee Southern instead turned into the worst kind of nightmare.
