It didn’t get any better for Russell in its second varsity volleyball match at Beloit tonight. The Trojans rolled 25-7, 25-11. I had to fuel the car before exiting Beloit, stopped for food in Salina, and then got home at 10:20.

The Broncos will have a week to work out the flaws. A very good Southeast of Saline team comes to Russell next Tuesday.

Long day on the road. I would have gone to Beloit from Kansas City had it not been for Jack and Frank wanting to see me at the office in Russell. Instead, I made the 250-mile drive, then drove 82 miles to Beloit, and then more than that back since I went the long way, taking US 24 east from Beloit to US 81, and then 81 south to I-70 at Salina. i don’t like K-14 because of its narrow and winding nature. US 24 is two-lane, but it’s flat. And 81 is four-lane from Salina well into Nebraska.

I’ve got a lot of writing to do tomorrow for the Russell County News. But I will get some down time before going to Smith Center Thursday.
