Well the Ohio Valley University volleyball team has you beat

The Fighting Scots are leaving for Anchorage Alaska Thursday morning, where they will play in a prestigeous tournament for 2 days and be back in town by Sunday.

Coach Paul Jacoby put his team through a final practice before the whirlwind tour begins.

The Scots know this isn't a vacation, Its a business trip and they're working hard to bring back some wins as their momentos from the Last Frontier State.

They open up the tournament Friday against the University of Alaska-A nchorage and follow that up with a game against a Texas womens college.

Then on Saturday they will pay Harding University followed by either a berth in the championship or the consolation round of the tournament.

Coach Jacoby believes that competiton is a great learning tool.
And he looks for this trip to pay dividends down the road this season in the West Virginia Conference.
