The Jefferson City Lady Jays volleyball team look to build off the success it had under coach Ali Eskens in her first season last year.
Eskens, a former Missouri volleyball player from 2014-18 and Rock Bridge graduate, led the Lady Jays to a state quarterfinal appearance before losing to Logan-Rogersville. Logan-Rogersville went on to finish state-runner up to Westminester Christian last season.
