DUNLAP, Tenn. – Sequatchie County junior Keely Frederick was so young when she began playing basketball, she can’t remember not playing it. However, she should be able to remember her first volleyball match.
It was Monday.
The Lady Indians opened their high school season at fellow District 7-AA opponent Chattanooga Christian. It was the head coaching debut for Kerilyn Mongar, who is hoping to create a stir with volleyball at Sequatchie County. Adding athletes like the 5-foot-11 Frederick should help.
“She does everything so naturally well,” Mongar said.
The coach also believes in order for the team to toughen up and improve, it needs to face some high-level competition. The Lady Indians will find plenty of that this weekend as one of 32 teams in the 26th Choo Choo Classic at East Ridge and Red Bank.
