The accent is on youth for the Albion varsity volleyball squad which is getting set for the up coming Niagara-Orleans League season.
Seniors Emily Graham and Paris Smith along with junior Maya Knaak and sophomore Madison Hughson provide the veteran experience for the Purple Eagles which are also looking for contributions from juniors Hannah Moyer and Sam Rogers and freshman Madison LeBaron.
