Even if you don’t have a kid on the field, the top-tier bands are something to see. All four class championships in one afternoon at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. High school volleyball at this level is fast and loud, and tickets are far easier to come by than for the basketball finals. Short drive in from the county. |
