Led by a group of eight veteran players, the Lyndonville/Medina boys volleyball team is prepping to begin its third season of varsity competition with new Coach Kerry Papaj at the helm.

Seniors Mason Pecoraro, Christian Hahn, Jacob Houseman and Luke Isaacson head the Tigers veteran contingent which also includes juniors Dan Squire and Justin Corser and sophomores Chris Goyette and Steven Kage.

“We do have some experience back but we’re still building,” said Papaj who previously coached the Tigers girls varsity team.
