Twenty-four outstanding junior volleyball players from across the state have been named to the North-South squads for the 16th annual Alabama All-Star Sports Week competition scheduled in Montgomery July 9-13, according to an announcement by Alvin Briggs, Director of the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association (AHSADCA).
