12s Bring Home the Gold!

All 3 of our 12s' teams had a great weeekend at the Ohio Valley Region Inc. Kaepa®-USA 2009 Girls' Volleyball Championships. The 12 Twisters swept the field, going undefeated (6-0) in pool play and the playoffs to win Gold in the Plutonium Division. The girls from New Lebanon went 1-2 in pool play, but came back to win Gold in the Titanium division. The 12 Lizards went 2-1 in pool play to take second in their pool. They won their first match of the playoffs, but fell in the semifinals, taking the Bronze medals in Mercury.

The girls' hard work and determination paid off. All three teams played a difficult local tournament schedule. They faced many of the top teams in the Ohio Valley Region all season. All 3 teams were seeded much lower than they finished at the championships.

Great job!
