The Fayette County Record The talent the La Grange volleyball team returns this season should be downright scaryfor the opposition.Among the returnees for the Lady Leps (who begin the regular season at home Tuesday at 5 p.m. against Weimar) are: • The returning district overall MVP (Maddi Fritz) • The returning district Offensive MVP (Camille Gonzalez) • The returning district Setterof the Year (Hailey Hill) • The returning district Newcomer of the Year (Tori Harold) The La Grange volleyball team has won a share of the district title in each of the last two seasons (they were 21-26 overall but 11-2 in district last year) – and with the lineup they can put on the court this season, the Lady Leps’ expectations for 2022 certainly include anotherdistrict crown.“I’d be lying if I said my expectation wasn’t to repeat as district champion,” said La Grange head coach Leslie Coltrain, who begins her fifth year at the school this season.
