VMS Volleyball District Champions! 10-0 season, 4-0 district champions. 14-0!!
A special word of thanks from Coach Hollowell: "What an amazing season!
It was a nail-biting game, but the girls did it!
It wasn't just this last game that got us the championship, but all 14 games and a group of girls that are phenomenal. On and off the court! Their team camaraderie, support for one another was impressive. Their ability to help out without being asked to and great sportsmanship.
I was so lucky to be able to coach this team of players! Please congratulate these girls!! "
