The Labette County Community College Cardinals volleyball team is embracing change, and are off to a hot start in the 2025 season.

 

Labette is 9-5 thus far on the year, including a four-set win over Independence in their conference opener last week. The program won just seven games all of last season.

 

First-year Head Coach Deardin Kelley says the team has done a nice job of buying in this season.

 

The Cardinals rattled off five-straight wins after an 0-2 start, and recently went 1-1 at a home tournament last week. Kelley says the team still has plenty to work on ahead of the second half.

 

Labette resumes conference play this week, traveling to Johnson County on Wednesday.
