Richards, Shepard volley for the cure
Despite playing for bragging rights and, possibly, the South Suburban Conference Red Division crown, volleyball players from Richards and Shepard high schools united before their match yesterday for a common cause.
Ditching their school colors for pink, the freshman, sophomore and varsity teams posed together for a photo that symbolically concluded their ‘Volley for the Cure’ campaign. The match provided the final act following weeks of fundraising and awareness efforts about the risks of breast cancer.
Shepard won the South Suburban Conference match.
