After the summer Rosary star volleyball player Maggie Griffin had, you’d think it would be tough for her to get excited about high school volleyball. Not so. Griffin, a setter, led her 18-and-under team to the USA Volleyball Junior Olympics title in July and was named the tournament MVP. On Wednesday the Michigan State-bound senior opened the high school season full of enthusiasm. “I just love volleyball,” she said before the No. 5 Royals lost at No. 3 St. Francis. “I’ve been playing it since I was in 4th grade.

It’s fun because a lot of my friends come to watch.”
