Pirates volleyball leans on More for another title push By Justin Feil
After a humbling start to his career, Srivishal More has developed into an ace volleyball player. The junior outside hitter is a major cog for the South High boys team that has state championship aspirations after seeing tangible improvement through last year’s run to the sectional final. “We had seven sophomores on varsity last year so we realA 1975 view of the Clarksville Road railroad bridge, as published in “The Evening Times” (Trenton), ized this is the year that we have shows the structure during a period of significant deterioration.
