JP II runner up in junior girls volleyball tournament
Crusader Field wasn’t the only site for athletics on Saturday at John Paul II.
In addition to the soccer tournament held outside, the junior girls volleyball team was busy bumping, setting, and spiking the ball inside.
And they were quite successful, making the finals of the five-team tournament where they narrowly lost to Unity by a score of 27-25, 25-23.
“[We] got better and better as the tournament went on,” head coach Janet Benoit said. “Our team is over half grade eights so it’s a big learning curve from elementary to high school. I think they’re starting to understand that and … they’re adjusting and starting to really improve.”
