Kirkwood volleyball coach Jill Williams likes to search locally for new players whenever she can.
This year was no exception.
Williams has signed nine new players for the 2013 season and all of them are in-state recruits. "We are all Iowa," she said proudly.

That philosophy is reflected in his first full recruiting class with the Eagles.
Rima has signed eight players to letters-of-intent for the 2014 season and the new class is split evenly between in-state recruits and players from Colorado, New York, Puerto Rico and Australia.
