A perfect ending to a perfect season
The junior boys volleyball team finished their perfect season last week, winning District 8 gold against St. Davids. The team's impressive season included winning a preseason tournament at RIM Park, winning an invitational tournament at Paris District High School, and finishing their regular season with a record of eight wins and zero losses. It doesn't get much better than that.

|
The team hopes to continue their success at CWOSSA this Friday, November 15.
