Out of the Woodwork with Justin Wood

My name is Justin Wood. I am a member of the UCHS journalism 20 class. Today I'll be providing you with some news and opinions about what's happening around the 4a boys provincial volleyball.

So far the day has consisted of running around slightly panicked while trying to learn how to use new technology. It could be a long day... On the other hand everyone seems optimistic and were all looking forward to a good day of volleyball. Good luck to all the teams, coaches and fans who will be watching.

Ta Ta for now.
Wood out.
