The volleyball teams at Vicksburg High and Warren Central both honored the teams played each other in Tuesday’s season opener at Vicksburg Junior High.
The ceremony, which is normally at the end of the season, was moved to the beginning because of concerns about the future of the season in the face of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Vicksburg and Warren Central will play a round robin tournament with Pelahatchie and Florence Saturday at VJHS, but fans are not allowed to attend because of the coronavirus threat. Neither Warren County team will play another home game until mid-September.
“(Warren Central coach Matt) Gullett called and asked, ‘What do you think about us having senior night together?’ I said we’re in the same town, why not? Let’s go for it. So we came together. I think it was good, like a family affair because the girls know one another,” Vicksburg coach Deborah Brown said.
