CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (News First) – If you enjoy watching a good volleyball match, how about making the trek to Cape Girardeau this weekend? It’s the St. Francis Health Dig 4 Life Volleyball Challenge Tournament. Erica Hankins is the coach of the Kingston Lady Cougars. She says this tournament is huge.
Not all 65 teams will play in one huge bracket. Coach Hankins says there will be a few different tournament brackets played out over the weekend.
We asked the Kingston volleyball coach if she’d set any end-of-season goals for her Lady Cougars’ volleyball team.
The Dig 4 Life Tournament was founded by former Southeast Missouri State women’s volleyball coach Cindy Gannon and funded by corporate and private donors. The Dig 4 Life program provides mammograms to local women who otherwise could not afford them. Nearly 2,000 free mammograms have been given to women in the southeast Missouri region since the tournament started in 2000. The tournament will played Friday evening and all day Saturday at several locations in Cape Girardeau.
