Joy Scanlan will proudly wear an Omaha jersey for Volleyball Day in Nebraska Wednesday.
Joy Scanlan played for UNO in the 1970s and then got all five of her girls involved in the sport, coaching them through grade school. They competed for Plattsmouth, and four went on to play at the NAIA level in college. The other daughter, the now Jillanna Sutton, competed collegiately as a high jumper at Nebraska.
