GH's Abby Cole commits to Michigan for volleyball

A family vacation to Montana will force Abby Cole to miss tryouts for the Grand Haven varsity volleyball team this week. The 6-foot-, 5-inch all-stater shouldn't have much to worry about when it comes to her high school team, especially considering she's already earned a spot on a college roster. Cole turned down offers from several of the nation's top programs, including Penn State, which has won the past four NCAA national championships, and committed to the University of Michigan earlier this month.
