How many teams can be behind by nine points in the third geam of the state championship volleyball game and still come back to win another title? Not very many can but the varsity volleyball team did just that proving they were definitely the queens of comeback. Their slogan from the first day of practice was "It's In Your Heart of It's in Your Face," and the varsity volleyball team proved throughout the year that the will to win was deep inside all of their hearts. The team finished with a record of 30-5, one of the best records in the state.

"We may not be undefeated, but we're still the state champs," Coach Betty said.
