It’s shaping up to be a busy year on the volleyball courts for Edwin Parr Composite’s junior teams. This year’s EPC Predators junior volleyball program will feature two girls teams and one boys team.

In their home opener at Edwin Parr Composite last Friday, the Athabasca Pacers were in tough against a strong Vermilion team. The local boys hit the field ready to put on a show for those in the crowd who braved the wind and rain.
