LP volleyball team welcomed home

Yes, fans of the LP Volleyball team would show up – even late at night – to welcome home the state bound girls. After dispatching Champaign Centennial at the Washington Super Sectional Saturday, the team was greeted with fire trucks and ambulances at the I-39 Oglesby exit. Other emergency vehicles and fans joined in as the caravan made its way down Route 351 in LaSalle, over on Third Street into Peru, up Peoria Street and across on Shooting Park Road. LP is playing Chicago Payton in the state tournament at ISU Friday at 4:30. WLPO AM and FM will provide coverage at 4:20pm with Jeremy Aitken and News Tribune’s sports director, Kevin Chlum.
