A brand-new program, with a coach and players who had only passing knowledge of the game, managed to grab the best athletes from other sports and teach them volleyball in a few weeks and go on to win 18 games and reach Round Two of the playoffs. On this week's Corner Blitz Podcast, the first-year Loyd Star volleyball team: head coach Catherine Wilson and all six starters — Micah Claire Lowe, Emma King, Samantha Reed, Maya Wyant, Maddie Kate Britt and Kenzie Kay Lofton. Benji and Adam also talk about MAIS softball all-stars and the MHSAA's recommendation schools get rid of on-campus tailgating follow an outbreak of gun violence across Mississippi last week. Pike County Sheriff Wally Jones comes on the show to see whether or not he knows ball.

We're live every Wednesday night at 6 p.m. at The FitLife Sports Plex in McComb. Manuel Scott is our videographer; Andrew Nations makes us sound good. Benji Embry, Bradley Creel and Adam Northam talk the smack. The Corner Blitz is a product of Southwest Media Group.
