The sun sets over the Mississippi River as Alycia Jones, 12, center, tries to hit a ball over a volleyball net while her uncle, Duane Newton, right, backs her up and her cousin, Kamal Wesley, 10, moves to receive the shot. The three were playing on the volleyball court at Riverfront Park. The court at the park just west of Washington Street was built last summer on property just north of a walking trail, play and exercise equipment, and pavilions. (C. Todd Sherman The Vicksburg Post)
