Thanks to everyone for always putting in 100% and special mention to Meredyth, Sienna, and Havana for stepping up to a new position and owning it, to Adelaide, Christina, Kyla, and Hadley for running till you couldn’t run anymore as wingers and to Liz who was EVERYWHERE on the field! But the player of the day has got to be our goalie Kailyn who stopped SO many shots from Eden that kept our score to a very close loss of 3-2!

Yesterday the Junior Boys Volleyball team made history as they travelled to West Niagara. The boys won their first game of the season and a first win for Junior Boys Volleyball in many years! They beat West Niagara 2 sets to 0 after consistent serving that had the other team unable to receive their attack. All the boys played great but the stand out hit of the game came from Ethan Saunders, as his spike left the gym speechless as he shattered the floor with the ball's impact!
