Win or Learn, Never Lose: Following their success in placing first at the Southern Tournament last week, the varsity volleyball team participated in a tournament at Hastings St. Cecelia on Tuesday and Thursday this week. They played some tough opponents and had close games, but did not come away victorious….this time. “We knew this week we were going to meet up with some of the best teams in the state. Four of the five teams we played are ranked in the top 10 of their class,” stated coach Widick. “We did not play as well as we had hoped, but we fought through some challenges and finished the tournament with more positives than negatives.”
